Anyone else been having issues of not being able to load YouTube videos past the first few seconds on Firefox using ublock? I couldn't find any recent information online. I don't know if this is part of the war on ad blockers, or unrelated.

Haven't had that issue, nope

It's been a side effect of the server side ads apparently, but reloading the page fixes it for me.

Yeah, yesterday. I just kept refreshing. FF + unlock + not signed in, seems to trigger it

I watched several videos today on Firefox with ublock origin and no issues. Haven't run into issues with ads yet.
