I don't know why the downvotes. Sadly some webpages are made only thinking in chromium, thus working worse in other browsers.

I have found the same issue with youtube. I still use firefox, but youtube under firefox works worse than under chrome or other chromium based browsers. Probably it's google fault this, I'm certain they do it on purpose.

Also clarify that I use an old computer that struggles a bit in general, so newer hardware may have not experience this, maybe?

YT absolutely works in Firefox. I use it daily for many many years. The only thing that annoys me is that the fullscreen toggle is kinda sluggish but that's not anything I'd use Chrome for.

I don't use chrome over that. I prefer using tube archivist opened on firefox.

But on my low spec computer for instance using YouTube on any Gecko based browser I get stutter audio over bluetooth, that does not happen on chromium based browsers.

As the original commenter said that makes youtube unusable for me in firefox, but I still use alternatives to chrome. Other chromium based browsers or tube archivist is my choice.

Not sure why the downvotes, either. Can't imagine the downvotes once they find out I am using Windows 11.
