According to Google, ad blockers have nothing to do with YouTube’s most recent slowdown
The tech giant Google has updated users regarding the slowdown of YouTube. According to the company, the recent slowdown on the platform has nothing to do with ad blockers. This past week saw a new round of slowdowns, and many people took to Reddit to voice their complaints.
The users using the ad blockers reported that they experienced major lags on the platform. Some users of YouTube Premium are also encountering slowdowns as a result of using ad blockers for other purposes. Oddly enough, Google has confirmed that ad filters are unrelated to the persistent problem.
The company mentioned in a statement that recent reports of users experiencing loading delays are not related to the crackdown against ad blockers. Furthermore, the company stated that users can head to the help center to get an understanding of the troubleshooting tips. In this way, they can resolve the above-mentioned issue. Besides these strategies, one thing that must be considered here is that the performance of YouTube is impacted when using ad blockers. It appears that using the most recent versions of AdBlock and AdBlock Plus is also connected to the recent issue.
The regression is noticeable for users who are using AdBlock and AdBlock Plus simultaneously, according to Raymond Hill, the developer of uBlock Origin. According to him, the problem is related to ad blockers. It is not that Google is releasing fresh code to slow down the platform.
