> uBlock Origin makes youtube videos stutter at about the 2 second mark on my Raspberry Pi 3's
If uBO is really responsible for this, you should probably check the box "Ignore generic cosmetic filters" in "Filter lists" pane. For instance, this is the default in Firefox for Android, I consider it's best for less powerful devices.
I'm going to try that. It's definitely uBO because when I replaced it with Ghostery, the problem was gone. That's the same on all my pre-rpi4 devices and my laptop. If that fixes it, I'm surprised they don't just set it up that way by default in Raspbian.
But now it'll be hard to tell, because Youtube has changed the way it downloads stuff in the background without prioritizing the stream. uBO definitely blocked a whole lot more noise than Ghostery does.
