YouTube videos won't load sometimes

Post by flint »

The videos always start but if I click on the timeline it won't load once in a while and the rotating animation stays forever. It happens randomly.

It only happens if the "EasyList Italy+EasyList" filter is enabled.

It started quite recently, probably less than a month ago. I have Firefox 59.0.2 and Windows 10.

Just to be sure it's about ABP or your system:
- disable ABP
- install uBo (ublock origin)
- test again

It also happens with uBo (and AdBlock disabled).

If I disable the EasyList filter it doesn't happen (but when I jump on the timeline I frequently get a YouTube logo "ad" that lasts around 4 seconds).

Could it be EasyList filter's fault?

You should repeat the same test in chrome + ABP / uBo
