• 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 / 5 months ago

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