YouTube has worked fine for me using Firefox with Ublock Origin, with no lag, notifications telling me to turn off ad blocking, or any of the other issues users have reported here.

    I can’t be 100% sure that it was the fault of Firefox or Ublock Origin, but I’ve definitely had times when videos wouldn’t load or would load excessively slowly. My Internet was otherwise working entirely fine at the time.

    Also, Chromecast refuses to work from Firefox. The icon you click to start it up just won’t appear. It always appears in Chrome no problem.

      You may have another plugin like redtube or YT pro. Unlock origin has been rock solid for me since I removed the other addons

        Nope. Ublock Origin is the only plugin I use. It’s not a regular thing anyway. The loading problem that is. I’ve only had very intermittent success with Chromecasting within Firefox. It just doesn’t work most of the time. That is most likely due to Chromecast being tied to whatever remains of Google Home.
