Adblock and Adblock Plus users report performance issues on YouTube, initially blamed on Google but later determined to be an issue in the popular ad-blocking extension.

Update 1/16 - Adblock has informed BleepingComputer that its engineers fixed the problem and released ABP 3.22.1 and AB 5.17.1 on the Opera and Edge extension stores. The same versions are currently in review on the Mozilla and Chrome add-on stores, and should be made available soon.

    I don’t know why anyone even uses the YouTube app. Newpipe has always worked for me and I’ve never seen an ad once and always can watch in whatever resolution I want.

      Yeah newpipe is so good its not even close. Play in the background feature with custom playlists without needing an account is just the best.
