It’s gotten real bad for me just in the last week.
Videos load really slowly, constantly stops when I play a playlist of videos.
I have had ad blockers for over a decade now, it’s never been this bad.
I've been using NewPipe since I found out about it. Ad free YouTube with no slow down that I can see.
Really? My main reason for still trying to use adblockers instead of NewPipe or another frontend is that every one I've tried is slooooow. Is there a setting I should change or something???
Also libretube (android client to piped.video so you don't connect to YouTube at all) and clipious (android client to invidious) are worth looking at too. You'll need to tweak the servers you connect to to get good performance, but both work quite nicely.
