YouTube loads slowly

Post by Justinh »

YouTube will load and render, but it is so slow. (Not a bandwidth issue, not a PC performance issue.) Sometimes I get the 'stop script' dialog and sometimes not. I have uBlock Origin running.

Just want to know if this is everyone's experience with YouTube loading.

Hi,
Yep.
Seeing the same slow loading of it's pages, no matter which video I'm trying to watch.
I only have a few "usual" channels I frequent.
All perform the same.....Slow as...

Also running uBlock Origin.

(Always choose the "Custom" Install.)

Use uBlock to block remote fonts when on YouTube (click uBlock 'button' and then A at the very bottom, second from the right.)

It doesn't totally solve the slow loading, but it does reduce it a lot.
