For whatever reason now when I have Ublock enabled every page on YouTube loads twice, and playlists are completely unusable as they reload indefinitely. If I disable Ublock this stops. Every other site seems to be just fine.

    I love that the workaround to YouTube permanently breaking AdBlock and NewPipeExtractor is to just download everything that might be interesting, using 4-5 times the bandwith or something. I have paid once for my unlimited Gigabit, and it’s more than enough (down at least). Does YouTube?

      Correct me if i am wrong but i always consider it actually saves bandwidth.

      If you watch a vid in full you have essentially downloaded it in cache. Rewinding, skipping can mean your actually dowloaded parts multiple times. While a script downloads it exactly once to enjoy full quality and performance.

      This is of course if you do watch them all. Which is why i combine it with invidious for everything thats not a favorite. I have a few filters to weed out live, shorts, certain series on a channel.

      The reason i am not using invidious for everything is cause some stuff i really want to keep and google does break invidious every few months requiring a reinstall at worst. I still dont want that to cause me to miss my comfortshows.
