Well this problem magically gone after I post this thread. At least for now, just to check if something is wrong and causes reoccurrence.

I find that this most often happens when I open a video in a new tab or play a music video (with the music note icon next to the video length).

I’m using the extension “Control Panel for YouTube”. It doesn’t fix the slow loading, but it at least has an option to hide the “experiencing interruptions?” thing.

Ah it appear again…yesterday was fine. And tried the method in those thread, not the problem I encountered, thus not working

It happens to me as well. But only when I’m logged in with an account. I just tried using Incognito and it loaded perfectly normal. Any solutions?

Since I updated Brave, videos on YouTube on my phone (Android 16) also start loading very slowly (it usually takes 30 seconds just to start a video on YouTube). Are there any things that could be done to fix this problem?

I think it’s due to the ad blocker, which blocks the content by displaying a black screen, but doesn’t skip it or block it completely.

Same problem for me, it takes 10-15 seconds to start the video.

I found a way to start it more quickly (in a few seconds) on your phone. When you open a YouTube video, YouTube will probably create a playlist related to that topic. so at that point, open the playlist and quickly click a few times on the video you want to start, then randomly release your finger and the video will start without any problems. I recommend pressing multiple times on the video in the playlist for just a few seconds (1/2s)… let me know if it works for you too.

Actually, now that I’ve tried it out, I’ve seen that all it takes is two quick clicks on the video you want to watch.
