Original Note:

The issues are related to a buggy update by AdBlock & AdBlock Plus, and not directly related to YouTube’s war against ad blockers. Blockers like uBlock Origin weren’t affected and articles have been updated to reflect this. https://www.pcgamer.com/its-not-just-you-youtube-is-slowing-down-your-pc-if-you-have-adblock-installed-by-making-your-cpu-sweat-likely-as-part-of-its-draconian-war-on-ad-blockers/ https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/16/24039825/having-performance-issues-with-youtube-try-a-different-ad-blocker https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/youtube-appears-to-be-reducing-video-and-site-performance-for-ad-block-users/ https://gitlab.com/adblockinc/ext/adblockplus/adblockplusui/-/issues/1576 https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1746543686932947074
