    YouTube keeps buffering and skipping short sections of videos for me on PC with uBlock origin. I’m so confused since apparently AdBlock Plus which I don’t use was responsible for the whole buffering thing and now I’m here and wondering wtf is wrong with my setup

      Yeah my videos sometimes skips forward a few seconds aswell but it doesn’t happen often enough to be an issue. Assuming you have other extensions disabled for youtube and if you’re on FIrefox; remember to also turn off the enhanced tracking protection for YouTube (shield icon at the address bar while you have youtube open)

        I do have Firefox although on LibreWolf I didn’t experience those problems a few weeks ago. Thanks I’ll check! I also have Enhancer for YouTube as a plugin so I can set custom speeds etc for videos but I disabled its ad blocker and use ublock for that. Wasn’t a problem on Librewolf either but I’ll try to look into it. Thanks!

          Yeah I have the YouTube enhancer aswell with adblock disabled and it doesn’t seem to be causing any issues.
