For some time, trying to watch videos on Invidious or Freetube has been a pain. It has been oscillating day by day but now I get like 3 seconds of video for 8 seconds of loading time

Some days ago I saw a notice on top of the webpage in some Invidious instances stating something like “Youtube is trying to impede frontends”

Today i tried going to youtube.com and enabling some requests on uBO and videos loading freakin’ fast

Is anyone getting the same?

    yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that’s why
