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

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

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

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.

This has happened to me frequently.

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

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
