Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

I don't notice this, Firefox on Mac, YouTube Premium. Do they only do this for YouTube Free? Yep, seems like it. Terrible nonetheless of course but it explains why I never experienced this.

It's a little weird because its definitely slower on my desktop but on my laptop (with the same account, browser, and extensions) it's perfectly fine. I'm guessing that there's some AB testing going on.
