Google recently denied that the slowdowns observed on YouTube are linked to its fight against AdBlock, programs that inhibit advertising.

Google’s statement follows a series of user complaints, particularly on Reddit , regarding slowdowns on YouTube over the past week. Users have reported issues both with and without using AdBlock, including among YouTube Premium subscribers.

Surprisingly, Google has clarified that AdBlocks are not responsible for these inconveniences. “We want to clarify that the recent loading issues on YouTube are not related to our efforts to identify ad blockers,” Google said on Android Central.

Advice for users

Google recommends following the troubleshooting steps available on the YouTube Help Center . However, it is important to note that using AdBlock can impact site performance.

Furthermore, recent versions of AdBlock and AdBlock Plus are suspected to play a role in these issues.
