Have anyone noticed that YouTube navigation has become slow and unresponsive? - eviltoast

Doing basic things like pausing a video takes a few seconds for the video play options to show up.

Curious if anyone else is having a similar issue.

    It’s been slow for quite a while for me too, and it can’t even be the ads because I have Premium.

    It’s usually fine when it’s loaded but it does take quite a while to load for some reason, and I’ve got gigabit fiber and 16 cores to process it.

    I heard YouTube falls back to a very slow path on Firefox because it uses features that Chrome implemented and never made it to the standard and something else was adopted instead.

      If Google makes it, that’s a good reason for it to never be a standard.

      Also, willing to bet that it’s anti ad block code. Google fired most of the senior devs that would k ow how to optimize this.
