Mozilla executive claims that Google has made YouTube slower on Edge and Firefox ... what a surprise /s
"don't be evil"

https://neowin.net/news/...

@dontbeevil I can attest to that. I use Edge only these days and the site feels so slow. I haven't experienced the same issue with IE though. I also have uBlock and the blocked counter increases steadily on Youtube even when I don't change videos. But that is something to be expected, Google and Microsoft never liked much each other and Google is dominating the browser landscape these days.

@Qaldim yup, I use edge too...and youtube it's the only google service that I use

@dontbeevil I use an app on my Windows Phone, but I still haven't found a decent free app for the desktop. It's a shame, MS had developed a very good app and Google boycotted it.

@Qaldim I don't remeber which one was the best, maybe "mytube" it's a UWP so if you have windows10 runs on pc, phone and xbox

@dontbeevil myTube! is not free. The "free" version limits how long you can watch videos. At least that's what's in the app description.

@dontbeevil Wouldn't be suprised. A good method of pushing more people towards chrome and thus towards a mass surveillance network.

and they just made this even bigger

@dontbeevil Also last load and very unresponsive like the rest of YouTube! 😂

I can imagine that someone must say it's a new feature called optimization for Chrome.

Google no longer uses:

Don't be evil.

@ewpratten actually they just moved it

It's been confirmed. They use an old API no one but Chrome maintains.

@dontbeevil you happen to be the perfect person to correct me. 😂

@ewpratten 😂
