YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox and Edge than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the...

haha yea I was trying to come across like that

R.I.P.

Edit the PREF cookie for YouTube to include the following value:
f6=40008
This will revert YouTube to the previous non-polymer layout.

will this damage my computer?

Okay now this is epic!!!

Hooktube is for dumb niggers. White men use youtube-dl.

>can't even implement an API used by one of the largest websites in history
Why is Chrome the only competently programmed browser?

Only if you try and eat your computer.
Just grab a copy of Cookie Manager from the Firefox addon site and edit away. Worst case scenario, you fuck up a login cookie and have to clear the cookies for the site you were messing with. Minor annoyance at best.

I installed this
addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/youtube-classic/

If Firefox users are experiencing a Youtube that's 5x worse than mine on Chrome already is than holy shit you have my condolences.

rip what? I can still access it.

A reminder that Chrome is the new IE.

>Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome
Why? Isn't Polymer supposed to be the future and shit?

>not playing videos with mpv+youtube-dl

use youtube old design script and it's as fast as b4

That's why I use the old layout.
Well that, and because I just don't like the new one aesthetically.

okay kind of got around it, got myself a addon that edits cookies
now i have 2 addons that mess with them: self-destructing cookies and cookie manager+
in the first one i can either delete all cookies or none, the latter wont allow automated cookie destruction, and i dont want sites to leave cookies on me
how do i make so the PREF cookie will allow me to use older no polymer version of youtube while not filling main page with cancerous suggestions

So, was the html5 player removed entirely, or it just uses youtube's for 720p60 videos?
Either way, that makes it usable for me.
Time to put that addon that always takes you to hooktube back, I guess.

Just use chromium/chrome like any sane person does, faggot.

>hooktube
>no playlists
It's shit.

so it’s just the page and not the videos? if so who cares

How do you do that without addons or fucking around with you cookies by hand?

GreaseMonkey.

^ And by that I mean that you have to use an addon or modify the cookie by hand, there's no other way to go about it.
Using an addon to handle it is obviously the better option, because you're basically gonna see the old layout whenever you access Youtube, and it loads way faster than the new one.

*sniff* *sniff*

i smell another EU fine

>not disabling all scripts except thumbnails to browse youtube and opening videos with mpv+ytdl

I really hope this happens

If you disable scripts, yt is not usable. pic related

fuck, it breaks dark theme, and I deleted the old one.

>>disable all scripts except thumbnails
Damn you're slow

>itt executing the scripts youtube pages send you, instead of building your pages with local with userscripts
lmao, my youtube pages load faster in firefox 52 esr on a first generation core atom cpu than they ever will on your gayming computers running chrom* (video page with player and related videos and channel video pages are all fully functional, style is somewhat your browsers default but comfy and fully responsive to window size, even the player, functional and fast. i didnt bother to program the load of the comments section, but i never use it nor is it ever of any value/help)

Fuck...
I hate the fucking internet.
Not only do you need an adblocker to browse it, you also have to use that to remove the annoying floating headers by hand and the you're still stuck with a shitty, slow piece of shit, for which you need a per site addon to fix it (if at all).
Can someone please reset the time by a dozen years or so?
That would also get rid of emojis and help me loose my virginity before my 30th birthday

loads instantly on my ten year old computer

literally who cares

qutebrowser is super fast!

>qutebrowser
>keyboard only
Ew.

mouse works too

it's f6=8

idk if it's related but visiting youtube or google rapes my hdd with ~800MiB of write which is discarded the next minute if i close it
disabling javascript prevents this

it is very usable - you can search and you can sort with url operators

>he needs thumbnails

>Using the mouse

>using the keyboard

So that's why. I had downloaded chromium for testing purposes and I noticed YouTube was faster on it, and I wondered if it was detecting the useragent and speeding it up or something.

it's the fastest if you don't have javascript

Does this apply to FF mobile?

Yes, except FFF

>FFF
Fennec?

Focus
