But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?

On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.

Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..

Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..

Good thing I can already use uBlock to remove the jumpscare that is "verified badges."

clickbait no more

I think i'm okay with NewPipeXSponsorBlock or Freetube, but for straight up YouTube, this is good stuff.

Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well
