Is this why I've been getting constant buffering at the start of videos?
Do you use Firefox?
because Google intentionally nerfs loading performance on any non-Chrome browsers.
I usually find if startup buffering takes more than 2-3 seconds on my home Internet, just refreshing the page magically makes it go away.
Yeah Firefox + Ublock Origin. It buffers for me indefinitely and the only way to fix it is to skip ahead 10 or so seconds. If I then go back 10 seconds it starts buffering again.
