Is anyone else having trouble with the vid.puffyan.us YouTube mirror? It takes about 20 seconds to view the front page / load the thumbnail initially.
That's been a common issue with most invidious mirrors. It's caused, AFAIK, by google attempting to limit bandwidth to mirrors as part of their attempts to combat adblockers. I may be wrong on that though. When it loads slowly for me, whenever I check the main list of mirrors at invidious's website, it'll say bandwidth is limited upstream.
I found downloading videos is the best way around watching adds.
Mirror seem to be hit or miss. But downloading off a "download youtube videos" website never fails.
Firefox + uBlock Origin also works
I tried other top mirrors, and they all loaded almost instantly. I think something else is wrong.
Ah, in this case definitely could be.
