    I have ff and ublock on windows and every now and then YouTube videos have issues like stopping playing and not recovering (where an ad would play).

    Only fix is to hard refresh the page.

      That’s one of their antiAdBlock features, actually, and it’s working as designed. Hard refresh doesn’t work for me. I stopped using yt site on desktop, and only use freetube now. If a video doesn’t play on that, I yt-dlp it.

      Sometimes hard refresh wasn’t enough and I had to actually quit firefox (which also cleared cookies) and try again. Doesn’t happen too often tho.

        Each month I lean more towards the notion that FF devs are retarded. Why do you have to close the browser to clear the cookies rather than having a hard refresh do that?
