I have been getting this same slow-down for a month or two, but using Brave - which is the same user-agent as Chrome.

I would imagine changing the user-agent at all will (temporarily) fix it, rather than to a Chrome user-agent specifically.

Probably targets ad blocking users rather than non-Chrome users.

Huh, I nearly exclusively use Brave for YouTube because it does a good job blocking ads and I haven’t noticed any slowdown.

I did see the ad nag once when I accidentally went to YouTube in safari
