OP could have a better YouTube-experience by using the MTube extension or visiting YouTube with FreeTube.
This. For me, using Mtube on Pale Moon is up to 1 second faster than accessing YouTube directly in Chrome.

Clearly not a YouTube link.
Did you visit that loom.com link?

That loom.com link is a link to a screencast with OP visting https://www.youtube.com and watching some videos.

OP could have a better YouTube-experience by using the MTube extension or visiting YouTube with FreeTube.
So with MTUBE the main page seems to load in 3 to 4 seconds.
As for freetube or such sites, I want to use regular youtube where I'm familiar and where I can log in to comment.

MTUBE, Theres 4 main problems, 1 questionable main problem and 2 minor issues.

1. I cant skip seconds in the video. Arrows don't do it, mouse just pauses and plays, doesn't skip and numbers don't do it either.
2. I can't highlight titles with mouse
3. I can't adjust sound under the video
4. It stops when i switch tabs.

5. I had two of the same videos open, 1 had watch?persist_app= in it's html address (dunno why, restore session maybe?) and the other had a regular youtube link without the persist thing. So at first it seemed that the persist loaded slower, because it did, i tried searching for the same video and opened it anew and it didn't lag. Yet now none of them lags. So just to throw it out there is this a coincidence or is something up?

6. The ui looks big
7. I can't use middle button to open youtube from the icon, and right click doesnt show to open new tab

Generally if i wish to view videos then i use the DDG built in player via their search engine.IF youtube itself is required for the small videos i watch then i use the mobile version of youtube and an extension is not required.Yes it has the issues mentioned in the above post but i am more than happy that it gives me a lighter experience rather than listening to my computer attempting to take off with the fans at high speed.

1. While the video is playing, double-click anywhere on the right half to jump forwards, or anywhere on the left side to jump back. Repeat for a bigger jump. By default it's 10 seconds per double-click, but - apparently - if you login you can change that in your settings.
2. Click the down arrow lower right (see below) and an info pane will open - you can copy the title from there.

3. You can only use your hardware buttons to adjust the sound.
4. It does.
5. ?
6. It's the mobile version of YouTube, so the interface is designed for that
7 ?
