  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.

    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.
