YouTube videos for some reason won't load for me on Firefox. I switched to the Waterfox fork and it's fine.

Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it's a mistake.

Google just maliciously makes their websites work way worse on Firefox. For YouTube I personally just use FreeTube on desktop and Tubular (A NewPipe fork) on Android so I never have to interact with that goddamn website

As someone who uses tubular I wish it got updated more tho. The number of debug versions I have installed from pull requests is like 5 at this point ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm fine with a slow update cycle as long as they don't wait too long to actually merge app breaking features, like when recently youtube changed a few things and videos would no longer load.
