Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

Sponsor Block Addon does it fine.

However I have bigger complains for my Firefox cannot handle most videos anymore. Affected are those with much ads. It starts with a still image and if I don’t quit the video within 10 seconds, my desktop environment crashes, bouncing me back to the login screen. 💩

Did you read the article? The article shows a post from Sponsoblock and it specifically states that they turned off sponsor block submissions on effected browser since they can’t be reliable with the new ad delivery method

That doesn’t sound like a Firefox issue.

  I’ve read about YouTube delaying video play, buffering, and showing a blank screen for X seconds on all videos for non-Chrome browsers.
  
  The desktop crashes don’t sound like YouTube, but I think the rest is the genuine anti-competitive behavior Google has demonstrated. I get these 5-6 second video delays and page refreshes on Firefox and Safari periodically but never in Chrome.
