Now that Google is officially throttling Youtube and other apps, remember that this company needs you on chrome so that they can track you. Youtube is throttling w/ this little guy (in the polymer script)

e.appendChild(h);h.classList.add(“html5-main-video”);setTimeout(function(){e.classList.add(“ad-interrupting”)},200); setTimeout(function(){c();a.resolve(1)},5E3);

If you can take my word for it, this is a 5 second timer on any browser that isn’t Chrome. For no particular reason other than fuck you, use chrome

Consider Firefox w/ a User-Agent Changing Extension. At the bare minimum, use a password vault and 2FA on CS so you don’t run the risk of large data “breaches” exposing your Computershare credentials.

Follow these steps to have the faster and safer option.

Top Right 3 Bars -> Settings -> Privacy -> Strict

And just below that, make sure you check “Always”

Scroll down a bit more, uncheck saving passwords, and click into Saved Logins… and remove the logins there.

Just a bit further down, uncheck both of these if they are checked

Lastly, HTTPS-Only Mode will help prevent weird certificates or sketchy unencrypted sites

If you’ve read this far, I personally use uBlock, Dark Reader, Bypass Paywalls Clean, FoxScroller, a User-agent Switcher/Manager, and MetaMask. I’m sure the community has plenty of other fun extensions, especially those that Google try to code around such as uBlock.

    If there are no adblocks that work on youtube chrome, you do have to wonder who they’re targeting here w/ these 2 lines.

    Would this particular line ever fire on a Chrome browser? No.

      There are ad blocks that work on Chrome and others have reported this issue on chromium based browsers already. But keep going with the rage bait with disinformation.
