Firefox is unbelievably slow when I'm watching youtube videos
Firefox is unbelievably slow when I'm watching youtube videos
I have about 25 extensions (almost all needed) and firefox lags like crazy, it's like I'm watching the videos at 10 fps. I download chrome to test it out and sure enough it runs as smooth as butter. Any help?
EDIT: It somehow fixed itself after I started using LibreWolf (with the same addons)
You're viewing a single thread.
I found youtube videos unbearable as well and I found the culprit to be ambient mode in the video settings. I ended up adding a rule in ublock origin to delete the ambient mode stuff regardless of the setting just to make sure ambient mode is disabled in private windows etc.
What was the rule you added? I turn ambient mode and in-line playback off but Google is constantly resetting those switches.
I don't have access to my desktop computer at the moment but i believe it was this rule: https://old.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/ykana1/how_do_i_disable_youtubes_ambient_mode_permanently/j9khxuh/
Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!
@warren_aver_france @mitchell The "Deep Dark" themes in Enhancer for Youtube will also disable ambient mode, and make things nicer, along with adding a lot of features.
