Youtube & UBlock Origin
#1
Youtube is starting the spinning game again, frequency is increasing randomly. 

Checked Ublock Origin's settings, found the 'Quick Fixes' option under Ublock Filters is no more available.
Any other alternatives to stop the Youtube spinning before it loads the video?

Running Firefox 143.0.3 , Win11.

Any of you guys experiencing it?

ublock origin version 1.66.4 still working correctly for me and as expected, I still have Quick Fixes in the filter section.

Have you got SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships add on? Version 6

oh Firefox [facepalm] yes ignore my post, the original ublock origin should work fine in FF, but you could try updating the lists in the config

Updated my Firefox to 143.0.4 and Youtube is now working OK.

So the problem was with Firefox rather than Ublock origin!
