I'm using firefox + ublock origin and have never had the reported issues either.

Also firefox + ublock, but for me, it literally makes YouTube unusable. As in videos just flat out will not play in any way. I just get an endlessly loading spinner for the video

Try an extension to spoof your browser agent.

I set mine to spoof Chrome and my Firefox + ublock stopped having any issues with YouTube.

Oh. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll give that a try!
