Adblock: Google did not slow down and lag YouTube performance with ad blocker on - Neowin::According to several user reports online, Google was apparently slowing YouTube down if it detected adblockers. However, Adblock has now confirmed that such is not the case at all.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this looks like a different specific incident that was caused by AdBlock Plus.
In other words: It doesn’t negate the original reports of Google slowing down YouTube.
It just means ABP screwed up with their own filtering stuff.
