  I wish Mozilla would add the ability to set User-Agent for the different containers they offer in Firefox with their addon. Would be sweet to set it to Chrome in my YouTube container only.

      Not the person you replied to, but I just searched for “User-Agent changer” and then installed the Firefox extension that it found. When I set it to pretend to be Windows/Chrome my Youtube tabs went back to snappy and responsive.

      (link to the one I found: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/uaswitcher/)

        Holy smokes that did the trick. Not that longer loading times where bothering me too much, (It’s still less time wasted than ads) but damn it feels nice to load smoothly again.

  Problem is, it shows the internet that there id a higher share of chromium browsers.
  Which is bad.

      Because most people will apply it globally and will forget about it at some point.
