Search giant says delays not specific to any browser – just those evading advert breaks. YMMV

    Something I didn’t even realize I wanted was to not have some eyeball-pulling algorithm recommending things to me. It’s lovely.

      Yep. Personally use Piped, but it’s the same idea. It basically saves me hours of watching useless videos everyday.

        Now if only Piped wouldn’t error out and be unusable for 10 minutes at a time every couple hours…

          It doesn’t for me, though.

            I have been trying to figure out why since I started using it… searches spin forever, videos spin forever, some videos just spit “Error 1003” immediately, and then they become accessible 10 minutes later. I even tried filing an issue to no avail. I may end up looking for other alternatives.
