do you never encounter opening youtube video in a new tab only for video itself to load, while rest of the page doesn't?

That's never happened for me and I normally watch 5-10+ YouTube videos daily. Firefox.

I experience this, but only with YouTube Shorts. Video loads, but none of the elements around it.

This has happened to me frequently.

Also many times, the video won't play. If I reload the page, then it will play.

That happens to me about 50% of the time. I assume it's google engineers not testing on Firefox.

  • Hah. I always assume it's them actively trying to make the experience worse on anything that is not Chrome.

I have, and recently, i nothing is loading until i open a new video in another tab, then all of a sudden both pages start loading and playing :s
