#YouTube is making the watching experience worse on #Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
I didn't believe it the first time I heard abt it, since it sounded more like a conspiracy theory than a actual thing, but it's true. Google does add 5s timeout specifically to Firefox and Edge users when they try to watch a video on YT. If you want to know more about it, Mental Outlaw make a very good video abt it (Link: https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE ). I think Google did this, to get people moving to Chrome since the majority will think this is a browser issue, nobody would expect YouTube to purposely doing this. In the attached Screenshot you can see that YouTube checks the user agent of browsers to see if it's Edge, Firefox or not. You can bypass this by changing your User agent to chrome.
Edit: Due a lot of people saying a lot of different things abt it, I want to say that I'm not 100% sure abt how exactly this works, there is a inbuild delay by Google, but who is actually affected, there are a lot of different opinions abt it. I wasn't able to verify this myself in LibreWolf, but this could be the case due my intensive hardening I did and this is just a result of what I found in the code and what Mental Outlaw and others shared across social media, if you got different or additional infos abt this feel free to comment and I suggest everyone ti also check the comment section.
I see you are coming from lemmy.world, I perfectly understand the nature of that instance, if you don’t like seeing something like this, then you are free to go, nobody holds, it’s not everybody have sense of humour like you guys.
Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...
You know, funny thing, due to our values, if somebody says that he/she is going to be a police, or work on a government job, we appraise him:
Good! You will sustain yourself with a stable salary, congrats again!
But in reality those people have to do what their management will tell them, and it’s rarely the thing good for society, otherwise they will lose their job.
If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?
Don’t know what are you talking about, I was seeding on Rutracker, NNMClub for 5 years, giving 10-15GB day sometimes, I’ve seen many profiles who share 6-10-15 TBs a day, just a couple days ago a guy was asking on qBittorrent discussion how he could improve his 18Tb home seedbox, he had to open different instances of qBittorrent Enhanced, because at 10-15k torrents it was bugging out.
Their moderators contribute relentlessly, there are annual topics with competitions for best drawn picture, sang song, written poem, word games etc…
There’s a thing called Torrentovka, when people from Rutracker meet and camp, telling stories, many couples were found and married this way, Rutracker is basically a family forum.
Hell, my girlfriend uses NNMClub, we were both seeding Kaleo once at the same time :)
Health comes with morality, it shouldn’t be mandatory.
I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, “u B lock”, SponsorBlock or “S p onSor Block” (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute....
My PeerTube comment was banned = shadowbanned, I didn’t say anything wrong, just how it decentrilizes the Internet, keep in mind, all the others were not, not Osyssee, not Gab, not Rumble… so yes, it will.
Things like movies, books, games, songs, etc just what was the best one you even experienced that you kinda wish you could do for the first time again, also what made it so good?
I will rue the day this inevitably happens. (lemmy.world)
Types of games (lemmy.ml)
Sorry for abnormal sizes of images and text, I was on the mobile.

Do you prefer private or public trackers?
As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites....

What is the motive behind private trackers?
If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?
Is qB trolling me? (lemmy.world)
Was working to check some filter exclusions in qB (not possible yet) and noticed this…
Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments?
