YouTube has worked fine for me using Firefox with Ublock Origin, with no lag, notifications telling me to turn off ad blocking, or any of the other issues users have reported here.

Weird. I have youtube premium but never turn ublock off and I've almost never had any issues. I mostly watch youtube on MacOS, but Windows or Linux (not signed in) I've almost never had issues with it. Maybe try turning it on?

Doesn't make a difference, it was hanging before the point where it would even try to load ad domains. It was kind of weird.

Like, you'd click YouTube from bookmark and it would peg the CPU for seconds and sometimes minutes while still displaying the new tab page. Once the white background of YouTube would pop finally it took about 10-15 seconds to load.

I think the cache might have been utterly borked.
