Any suggestions on alternatives for blocking adds?

I’ve always just spammed refresh as soon as it takes longer than 2 seconds to load and it usuaally goes back to normal.
YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it’s what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.
Sorry to stomp on the hate parade, but a ublock origin dev says this a adblock bug. Just use ublock origin.
Not true. The implicit wait of 5000 milliseconds is hard-coded to non-chrome browsers.
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.

I have post history of going through their JS, this is a Google-sucks thing, full stop.
