I just came from watching a few YouTube videos and I have not had problems in doing so. The streaming video I was watching is at the link below and I was watching it in 1440p60HD.

I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.8.1 running in (as of this posting) 64 bit linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia) Xfce. The only extensions I'm using are NoSquint and uBlock Origin. YouTube sees my user agent mode as Firefox Compatibility.

YouTube should be seeing your user agent as Firefox/42 as per the built in SSUOA.
How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory?
Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come.

it appears to be youtube center causing it, are there any modern equivalents? i would greatly prefer to not go without some of the features i've come to rely on.
