Firefox users are reporting an ‘artificial’ load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it’s part of a plan to make people who use adblockers “experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.”

I am a Firefox user who uses adblock and I don’t get the issue.
I think uBlock might already be blocking that code.
Just turned it off. No difference.
YouTube rolls features out in waves
I was getting the delay early yesterday and then it went away. I guess they must have done something in uBO.
Same here. Firefox, ublock origin, privacy badger. Videos start playing in under 2 seconds. I’ve also never got the adblock warning.
Lucky I guess.
They just haven’t rolled it out to you yet.
