Still better tbh
I have a theory that YT deliberately makes you wait the length an ad would have been if you have uBlock Origin installed. Ive just let it “buffer” for 30 seconds or so and it will eventually load the video.

I am fine if it means I don’t have to watch some scam ass ad.

I think this is true, and I still prefer it to an ad. Even if it’s longer than the ad would have been.

My despise to ads is so big that if someday ads are completely unavoidable I’ll settle for a system that just blackens the screen and mute the volume for the duration of the ads. It will still be worth it.

I have no problems with ublock on Firefox or Librewolf, unless I try to skip past what the video already loaded, then it’s a dice roll whether it’ll work or not

I’d rather watch nothing than an ad trying to sell me something.
