YouTube has worked fine for me using Firefox with Ublock Origin, with no lag, notifications telling me to turn off ad blocking, or any of the other issues users have reported here.

    Videos take time to load - don’t care though, even if it’s about length of 5-7sec ad, but at least I don’t see it.
    Videos almost never auto play to highest resolution, I have to manually select it, no issues once I do that though.

    Those are about the two key things I’ve noticed. I returned to Firefox few.months back, but the above wasn’t an issue when I made the initial switch.

    And no, there is no issue with my connection, everything else (streaming, games, torrents) works fine as it always did.

    I use uBlock and NoScript

      The no max resolution thing i think is not beacuse of firefox i had the same problem on android app,brave, firefox ,chrome and edge. Youtube auto quality pic is just shit 9 out of 10 times. Alghtough i belive there was extension that forced resolution to be always whatewer you want.

        Yeah, I assumed it’s Google’s fault, one way or another, regardless of browser being used. And even though I don’t recall it happening in desktop chrome, minor nuisance like that isn’t gonna make me switch.

        Tubular on android also has option for forced highest resolution so that’s a nice bypass for any of google’s bs as I rarely bother opening videos in FF/FFfocus on phone
