    That’s been a common issue with most invidious mirrors. It’s caused, AFAIK, by google attempting to limit bandwidth to mirrors as part of their attempts to combat adblockers. I may be wrong on that though. When it loads slowly for me, whenever I check the main list of mirrors at invidious’s website, it’ll say bandwidth is limited upstream.

      I found downloading videos is the best way around watching adds.

      Mirror seem to be hit or miss. But downloading off a “download youtube videos” website never fails.

      Or use brave. It’s a great browser.

        Firefox + uBlock Origin also works

        Personally I just use Ublock origin on Firefox combined with SponsorBlock, which has worked flawlessly for me.

      I tried other top mirrors, and they all loaded almost instantly. I think something else is wrong.
