     I consigned my Waterfox secondary browser to oblivion and replaced it with another FF fork called Floorp. The reason is Waterfox didn't behave differently enough from FF to justify using it. If FF crapped out in some way on a particular website, so did Waterfox.

     I investigated Floorp and something clicked about better behavior on sites that redirect you in unwanted ways. So I installed it and proceeded at all deliberate speed to the most evil among the sites I regularly visit.  I could see the site was trying to send me elsewhere but Floorp stopped it cold.

I might give it a shot, but it depends on how it behaves with YT especially if I have ublock and ghostery going.

     Yeah I just have Adblock Plus on both browsers, and YT Premium is fine.
