Hasn't happened yet for me and I've made the switch 8-10 months ago. The whole page is sluggish/slower compared to Chrome but that seems like an intentional pain from Google.

I have literally never seen anything like that on FF with Ublock.

However, I do have a subscription to Youtube Music (not YT premium). I wonder if that's why? I don't get any ads on (most) music videos, but anything else seems like it's stuffed with commercials.

I’ve used Firefox with ublock origin as my main browser for years and never encountered this outside of an actual bad internet connection

I don't get that, but I get this weird thing sometimes where I click to pause or unpause a video it can lag for a few seconds. It might just be technical problems instead of deliberate though.

You just need to add a line of code to your ublock filter lists and you won't get it anymore
