New: Firefox users have reported an "artificial" 5-second delay when they try to load YouTube videos that is magically fixed if they use Chrome, which has been going viral in a few different places. I asked Google what is going on. They

2) Said it's part of its war on ad blockers, not targeted at Firefox

Mozilla also told me no indication this is targeted at Firefox

I’m very adamant about using “toot” instead of “post”. I’ll die on this hill, but hopefully not today because I have lots of errands to run, like buying stamps at the toot office.

I wish more people understood this.

I've written out a very, very long blog post intended to be both a refresher for anyone who hasn't been following all this shit and as my side of the story for some of the more contentious elements, and I encourage anyone who cares about this kind of stuff to give it a read when they can: https://blog.silvereagle.dev/d/3z9flj7l49
