Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me?

  Try using the extension that can spoof what browser you’re using. Last year, Firefox was being hindered by YouTube until I downloaded that and made it think I was using a Chrome browser.

    Sure would be nice if we had net neutrality back and they couldn’t pull this bullshit

    Sometimes I wonder if Firefox actually has low market share, of if this sort of shit just skews the statistics.

    I, for one, refuse to spoof my browser because I want them to know Chrome is not as dominant as they think.

      That’s not the reason for low market share. Most people just don’t use ff

        How do you know? Statistics reported by websites… which are recording user agent strings?

    This extension also shims a few additional JavaScript attributes, like navigator.vendor or the global chrome object, to pass common browser checks

  Same here. It’s not even that annoying, but noticable.
