It's pretty easy to check if this is caused by YouTube throttling Firefox. Just install a chromium browser for testing or check if the YouTube app is still buffering. Well, only if you're actually interested in finding out the cause of the issue.

If you just disagree with YouTube's actions, it's best to just boycott them altogether. My personal anecdote is that I've only had issues with YouTube on Firefox but not any other browser for a short period, which does prove that they had history of throttling Firefox, whether intentional or not. It's just hadn't been a problem in my area of the world currently.

I'll just slit my throat while I'm at it. Your solution is to put power in google's hands. I'm not interested.

They've done it for me! I can't load their content even if I wanted most days.

Not to use, just to check. Use a VPN and install it in a VM or something if you're worried about their tracking. Don't be so anti-Google to the point you start to sound unhinged. Installing a chromium browser for 10 minutes for troubleshooting shouldn't be compared to slitting your throat. Relax for a minute. Boycotting Google is a good thing that I myself am not prepared to do yet, but let's not be unreasonable about things.

that was a joke... but text can make jokes hard.

But like I said, I'm no longer interested in debugging/fixing Youtube's problem. I've had issues for months... probably years at this point. I've given up putting time into fixing their shit.

Yeah, sorry for not getting the joke. And not wanting to deal with YouTube completely makes sense. I did add that this is only if you're interested in knowing the source of the problem, but outside that it's not really worth the hassle.

Just use freetube on Linux and smartube on your smart tv
