This delay isn’t exclusive to Firefox, it’s in any browser where a user has enabled adblockers including in Chrome. Disable the adblocker and this delay magically go away. This was done on purpose.

    For anyone confused with the title:

    YouTube is blaming the ‘Firefox delay’, that people been talking about, on adblockers.

    Maybe it’s just me… English is not my first language so that might be it. I really struggled to understand what it said.

      To make it more clear use “have been” instead of just “been”

        Thank you. I missed that part, figured someone would correct me before I finished editing so I left it as is. Took longer than expected!

      Thank you. I happened to be smelling something toast like at the same time I tried to read that and had to check the comments. Turns out it was a heater that hadn’t been on in a while.

      It is my first, and I definitely had to read it twice to make sure that I understood. It is definitely not you, but the awkward way they worded the title.

      Yours is much clearer, in my opinion.
