If it's happening it's not doing so for everyone. I use Firefox and I have never seen this delay.

I haven’t experienced it either, but Google also typically rolls out changes in waves. They rarely just push to prod and call it a day. They push changes in waves, so they can pull the update or make adjustments if the early waves have issues.

They do it so we gaslight the people that have it and then it’s too late to do anything when everyone has it lol

Same.

The anti-adblock warnings only lasted a few days for me too, not seen them for a couple of weeks now.

I'd seen it in my Firefox/Win10 + uBlockO setup. I just used yt-dlp and then a uBlock "quick fixes" update sorted it.

Really? I switched from Edge to Firefox recently and YouTube slowed to the point it takes minutes to load the home page and several refreshes. Actually, most Google pages, but YouTube is the one I really use these days.

The videos themselves load fine, and of course every other website loads fine at the same time, but YouTube is nearly unusable if you can't even get to the video in the first place.
