I have UBlock installed on Firefox and what is pictured here is what has been happening for every video that I’m clicking on. Panning doesn’t make the video play either. I tried that. It’s not my internet connection since the videos and ads that you can’t even skip and pause when you tab out play just fine on Chrome. In the days before this happened I got several popups from YouTube saying that adblockers aren’t allowed after months of browsing YouTube ad-free without issue

      Most people just don’t use ff

      How do you know? Statistics reported by websites… which are recording user agent strings?

        How do you know? Statistics reported by websites… which are recording user agent strings?

        If you randomly stopped people in the streets and asked them what a user agent was, you’d get a certain percentage of folks that give you the correct answer. That percentage is the upper ceiling for any possible error margin that websites recording user agent strings have in attributing those strings to actual browsers, since nobody unaware of that term will know how or be interested in changing their user agent.

        Do you think it likely that this percentage is going to be in any way, shape or form… impactful, considering that most people won’t be able to tell you what a browser is? 😜
