When one Firefox user noticed recently that videos were loading slowly on YouTube, they accused Google (which owns YouTube) of “disgusting behaviour” in trying to push people to Chrome. They posted a clip on the Reddit forums (www.snipca.com/48429) that seemed to show a video taking five seconds to load. Several people replied saying they had noticed similar delays.
But then onerelated to YouTube’s crackdown on ad-blockers. They looked closer at YouTube’s code and found that a five-second delay had been added in the section relating to ad-blockers. The plot thickened.
