Having performance issues with YouTube? Try a different ad blocker.
Folks online have accused YouTube of targeting AdBlock users with degraded performance, with reports of the desktop player freezing up, lagging while buffering, and hogging CPU usage.
YouTube has since refuted this. Our own tests found that using Chrome extensions on PC for other ad blockers like Ublock and Ghostery didn’t affect performance, and uninstalling the latest AdBlock browser extension eradicated the issues entirely.
