For whatever reason now when I have Ublock enabled every page on YouTube loads twice, and playlists are completely unusable as they reload indefinitely. If I disable Ublock this stops. Every other site seems to be just fine.

That and and/or a yt-dlp script that checks a textfile for a list of subscribtions.
Chatgpt is capable enough to help with both if you dont know how.
I love that the workaround to YouTube permanently breaking AdBlock and NewPipeExtractor is to just download everything that might be interesting, using 4-5 times the bandwith or something. I have paid once for my unlimited Gigabit, and it’s more than enough (down at least). Does YouTube?
Correctly if i am wrong but i always consider it actually saves bandwidth.
If you watch a vid in full you have essentially downloaded it in cache. Rewinding, skipping can mean your actually dowloaded parts multiple times. While a script downloads it exactly once to enjoy full quality and performance.
This is of course if you do watch them all. Which is why i combine it with invidious for everything thats not a favorite. I have a few filters to weed out live, shorts, certain series on a channel.
The reason i am not using invidious for everything is cause some stuff i really want to keep and google does break invidious every few months requiring a reinstall at worst. I still dont want that to cause me to miss my comfortshows.
Technically it (invidious, NewPipe) should only download stuff once, and it will only download e.g… 70 seconds if you see that the video is not interesting in the first 10 seconds.
This is always an option but not exactly a solution, appreciate it either way.
