everything still fine here on firefox + ublock origin
Yup same here, on android
Sometimes I have to reload the page when using these 2. the page will load but just have a youtube icon in the centre of the player or the spinny circle until i hit f5
Wish I could say the same.
I'm also using firefox + ublock, but Ive noticed when I'm watching shorts, I'll occasionally get an ad that's disguised as a short. There's no like/dislike buttons or anything.
That's intended. Even to premium subs youtube pushes adds which try and promote engagement. Its fucking awful.
Does get me out of the loop sometimes though, so I guess Im thankful for that.
Just block shorts alltogether, it's a win win.
I found some website that had a line of code that could be added to my adblocker to completely remove them.
Haven't seen them since.
I think it was this: https://letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts
But.... my doomscroll :<
Just read climate news.
