Looks like Youtube is making Chrome run slower by artificially increasing CPU usage when it detects adblock. The kicker is this affects Youtube premium members as well. Really makes me question the value of Youtube premium when they do scorched earth tactics like this.

Not my problem, I have been always using Firefox before chrome existing.

Switch to using an alternative YouTube front-end such as FreeTube, Invidious or Piped.

chrome has always been crap

...finally one has to pay for it. what is the problem? it could have been expected, because adblockers etc are saving ones money, which is "thieving"...the modern way. i dont like this. just my opinion. i use, since 3 months or so, default youtube with ads. i am used to it now and i dont see a problem.

As long as YouTube and Google don't improve their ads platform. I'm going to keep finding ways to block em.

I'm not a fan of scam ads,

I'll stop using YouTube if they don't do anything for scam ads. It's as simple as that.

No - I pay for a good ad blocker. I would pay more to the ad blocker developers if required to improve the blocking functionality.
