It's certainly not something I would do if I was in the middle of an antitrust lawsuit. Maybe that's why I'm not a billionaire.
Let's hope Europe stars investigating Google as a gatekeeper. That seemed to work miracles on Apple.
So they're doing the same thing as that time they killed Edge and stretched its skin over chromium?

Bruh. I thought that was uBlock bypassing the ad or something.

Reminds me of the "Netscape Navigator has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" errors that Windows 98 used to throw.
It would only throw one, and you could just move it out of the way and keep using Netscape.
I noticed logging out of your YouTube account helps.
I just opened a private window in Firefox.
This actually helps with a lot of things on YouTube lately. It is slowly devolving into a truly crappy site.

What’s why it sucked ass this weekend?!? Fuckers.
It's long past time to flesh out our antitrust laws to deal with these greedy tech giants.
Time to start copying those videos, irrespective of copyright, onto PeerTube instances.

Seems that FF is not the target:
Why would they spend resources to enrage 3% (at most) of their users?

There's me thinking I had stuffed up my pFsense config. It had me duped into thinking I was responsible!
I've been using Firefox for about a year now, and I've definitely seen that 5 second loading delay in Firefox. Every time, the page partially loads like it does in the video, then sits for 5 seconds, then populates all the video thumb nails. It was driving me knows, made me think my Firefox was screwed up, or internet routing issues between me and Youtube.
Those assholes, how malicious!
