Impressive (and sad...) how adding:

  www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), 5000, 0.001)

to my uBlock origin filter list made YT much snappier on Firefox.

YT/google has hardcoded a delay just for Firefox users for web page and video loading, this removes that timeout sequence so it loads instantly.

Decreases the timeout of something by 3 orders of magnitude... I guess resolve events. https://chat.openai.com/share/4df5d57e-9d2f-407f-9f8b-910a6a...
