WOW this actually I think it somehow worked using uBlock Origin or AdNauseum as well! I was having a specific ONLY THIS SINGULAR VIDEO was contstantly buffering only in 4k 60fps it was Tomographic's more recent Wardogs video! I think this occurs on a few sepcific videos where ppl are inserting freakin ads. :/

Thanks so much I have more testing to do but perhaps I won't even notice this fake buffering at all now I am praying in which case I won't have to "test" anything else. I think last time on that specific video it did still do that fake buffering, but it would only do it for a few seconds and then continue to play!!! So I think that was the plugin doing it's job and telling google to P1ss off!!!!

Thanks you so much for this extension, that day I had spent 3 hours trying to get around this because I am NO SHEEP and I REFUSE TO SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE BS PREMIUM.

Anyways, I know it will always be a constant war with Youtube vs ad blockers. I just hope you don't ignore this extension or forget about it when it inevitably breaks one day... :c

I find that it works for me. Thank you very much for the simplicity of things.
