Mozilla buys Anonym, betting privacy is compatible with ads
Is such a thing possible for an industry that never respected people's wishes?

Hopefully Mozilla will be sensible and not ram adverts in our faces while we're using Firefox. If not, I'm sure somebody will bring out some workaround or a branch of Firefox.

Given that there are forks of Firefox such as Waterfox etc, I can;t see Mozilla adding ads that would instantly make people change to one of the forks - That's a suicide mission. It's likely something else.

Same. Can't quite see what Mozilla would need with a company like this. Unless they want to better understand how these kind of companies work to better combat the ads?Mozilla buys Anonym, betting privacy is compatible with ads

Revenue. They need a way to bring in more revenue, maybe acquiring such a company will help with that.
They are sort of going down the Brave route with Firefox.

This has made me start seriously looking at Floorp and Mercury. Mozilla just needed to keep their noses clean for a bit while Google made Chrome the evil corporation browser but they can't seem to help themselves.

A new US non-profit organization called the Ladybird Browser Initiative has been set up to develop the Ladybird web browser, based on a new engine that does not borrow code from other browsers.
According to a post this week, the new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, with initial directors being lead developer Andreas Kling and GitHub co-founder Chris Wanstrath, is funded entirely by sponsorships from those who “care about the open web” and will only accept “unrestricted donations.”

Been following Ladybird for a few years whilst it was under Serenity, but things look to be moving now, love the idea of a new Engine, such a shame Presto never got Open Sourced.

Only just got around to updating, see if it changes anything, but I've not found the issue happening on just YouTube, other browsers have problems with it as well though manifest in different ways with YT the worst impacted.
I've not had any issues so far since updating but still early days, so far it seems to improve skipping into a video, etc. without getting random delayed buffering but again early days.

I specifically left firefox because of this issue, went back to Edge of all browsers

I get it in other browsers as well, only they handled it more elegantly than Firefox - I don't think it is purely a FF problem. Though so far I've not had it reoccur in Firefox since updating, so far.
Testing it now, i don't mind Edge but i prefer Firefox.
So far so good, 4k clips are playing without stalling which was a huge problem!
