Firefox users are reporting an ‘artificial’ load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it’s part of a plan to make people who use adblockers “experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.”

    This is one reason I’m excited for AV1. Being able to store high quality video in a fraction of the disk space is something that will bring being a competitor to YouTube much more viable.

      I was going to play around with it, but it wasn’t part of the standard ffmpeg and I would need special build flags to use it.

      That’s above my understanding, so I didn’t move forward.

      I’ll have to check to see if it can be done at this time.
