Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have been trying to figure out why since I started using it... searches spin forever, videos spin forever, some videos just spit "Error 1003" immediately, and then they become accessible 10 minutes later. I even tried filing an issue to no avail. I may end up looking for other alternatives.
Have you tried changing the instances? Some instances simply perform better than others.
I have, but the ones I tried weren't much better. I looked again and there's a few new ones, so I'll try those and update if they work faster/more consistently.
