Sorry to stomp on the hate parade, but a ublock origin dev says this a adblock bug. Just use ublock origin.

I use UBO and have definitely noticed videos stuttering in the last week or two.

Not true. The implicit wait of 5000 milliseconds is hard-coded to non-chrome browsers.

Any non-chrome browser will experience a 5 second delay (IF they have an adblocker)

That’s a separate issue. The bugs on AdBlock And AdBlock Plus extensions affect not only YouTube but other websites as well (as said by uBO dev). This isn’t on google but the extensions themselves.
