I stopped watching on their website due to this. It's faster and I get better scalers on ytdl(p)+mpv

Are Piped or vanced affected as well?

I exclusively use Piped, and never have any problems. No ads, no bullshit, sponsorblock and DeArrow.

You browse YouTube in the browser then use a handler to send it to MPV?

mpv? yt-dlp?
mpv is a media player, kind of like VLC but more powerful and lightweight.
yt-dlp is a CLI (command line interface) tool that allows you to download youtube videos as videos, videos without audio, or just as audio files.

More powerful and lightweight than VLC? I didn't know such things existed.

Kuro ,

Could you elaborate on your workflow for that? I am really interested in doing the same.

Personally, I copy the url from the link or at worst the url bar after clicking into youtube.

Then 'mpv + [pasted url]' into a terminal (I use Yakuake as a quick terminal) and it's away quicker than youtube.com anyway.

mpv automagically invokes ytdl/yt-dlp if you have it installed on linux or if it's in the same directory as mpv or in a directory added to your windows search paths on windows. MacOS, just use a package manager like macports/homebrew.
