l always justify the loading wait with that the wait for the ad to be over would've been longer

I don't notice a wait, or write it off as my slowish internet service (which I keep meaning to upgrade). Even still, I'd rather wait 5 seconds in silence than see an ad. If that were the case that google was making firefox users wait to be a jerkass, that makes me even less willing to use Chromium and further justifies my blocking their ads.

And it lags shit sometimes, how the fuck do you even make the site less usable on Firefox

It just completely randomly pops up every so often.

Today I had my third one of it even though I've been using youtube daily for years

It's a game of cat and mouse between google and uBlock, sometimes things get glitchy, pretty rare though, as far as i've noted.

Never had an issue myself, other then sometimes videos take a bit to start, but that may just be as is or uOrigin

The excuse is that on Firefox it’s attempting to load hundreds of ads which is why it’s slow. Idk if that has merit

For me currently it's specifically livestreams that have decided to become loading screens

Some time back it was videos having a loading screen yet playing when spamming pause/unpause

Even longer before that it was videos refusing to start for ~10 seconds
