Oh no (continues to watch on freetube) anyway....
Alternative front ends are a god send.
What is freetube? (Sorry for the stupid question)
One of many different "third party frontends" for YouTube which, amongst other things, cut out ads and avoid performance throttling.
Personally I use one called NewPipe, and previously one called LibreTube. There are others too.
