Hey, maybe the good #Google folks at web.dev can write an article about how the #Firefox slow-down trick on YouTube works so other sites can implement it too.

@aral I used Safari (with ad-blocker) yesterday for once to access YT and noticed the same. I use Sudeep Biswas' #Firefox add-on Alter and let any #YouTube link automatically filter through an #Invidious instance. No ads, everything loads quickly, no autoplay if not desired. I still need to test if that way music playlists can run uninterrupted.
Oh, and I live in the EU.
@12pt9 Thanks for documenting your experience. Appreciate it + could be useful for regulators.
@aral Glad to hear that, you're welcome
