[–] TheBaldness@beehaw.org 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm using Firefox w uBlock turned off for YouTube. It's almost unusable for me. They're not just degrading the experience of ad-blocking users. They're also sabotaging users of non-Chrome web browsers. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] YuzuDrink@beehaw.org 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have a 2Gbps internet connection, and at my desktop running Firefox, I can’t reliably stream anything fancier than 1080p60. In the next room on my TV with an AndroidTV box attached, 4K60 streams flawlessly. I never see ads because I pay for Premium, yet they still fuck me over. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheBaldness@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago I know, it's bad.
