• Firefox slow to load YouTube? Just another front in Google's war on ad blockers

  Https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works

• S23 8k video freezes when played on VLC computer

  Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable. Source: 7 months ago

Bat is fancy pager written in Rust. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
