Yeah... that's not going to end up as obscured and abusive dark patterns at all, right?

Questionmarktarius 11/21/23 1:27:06 PM #41:	Kaldrenthebold posted... https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-reportedly-slowing-down-videos-firefox-3387206/ these are the important parts: Redditor vk6_ has shared a video showing a five-second delay when loading into a YouTube video on Mozilla Firefox. Upon manually changing the user agent on the browser to Chrome, the five-second delay no longer appears. The video has been reproduced below: Google is targeting useragent-string (or maybe not, according to the reddit nerds), so there's a fairly-trivial workaround of messing with the browser's reported useragent. However, multiple users have reported the same across Firefox and Edge. The users claim to have experienced the delay without any extensions enabled, indicating that the delay could be on a per-account basis. The delay also does not trigger just once; it is reportedly triggered every time YouTube links are opened in a new tab. Or, an even more trivial workaround of just not logging into youtube, which seems to also help hose the anti-adblock mechanism. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:977335986] in Google dis...

Questionmarktarius 11/21/23 1:31:36 PM #43:	Umbreon posted... Still faster than dealing with their ads, though that is indeed scummy as fuck. The non-answer answer from google is even more scummy. To support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube, weve launched an effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience. Users who have ad blockers installed may experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using. There's no "urging" here. It's just an arbitrary five seconds of the UI pretending to load. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:977336064] in Google dis...
