    I have been using YouTube Redux and the element remover tool of Ublock Origin…

    Makes Youtube much more pleasant (plus makes it look like it used to before the stupid UI updates)

      Is there also a trick to make it less slow to load, like old.youtube or youtube.classic or something? I mean, they have no performance goals or what?

        There are user agent switcher extensions for FireFox et. al. that can sidestep the garbage, anticompetitive throttling Google does against FireFox.

        It’s also nice for those certain stupid websites that think they cannot work in FireFox…

        Youtube redux just changes the CSS

        Idk, try different browsers, VPNs, VPN configurations? I don’t usually have trouble with loading stuff… it takes a few seconds which is to be expected
