I worked around this problem in Firefox by changing the browser useragent for the YouTube site to an older version # though the fix won't last forever.

I have become accustomed to using multiple browsers and OSes simply because of all the issues surrounding video playback.



I worked around this by removing YouTube from my life. I've been making much more progress on my personal projects since.


I simply accepted it loads slower. It's long bad if I don't have 5s to wait.


If I need youtube, I go to an invidious instance first.
