Yeah, sure. That's why it happens on Firefox even without an adblocker, and goes away when using a user agent switcher to claim you're using Chrome instead of Firefox while using an adblocker. Because it's toooooooootally about adblocking.
I tried this exact scenario and didn't see any difference in load times. I'm using an ad blocker and it's definitely sluggish, but switching to a Chrome user agent made no difference.
It's hard to tell these days when there's so much A/B testing and stuff going on. I haven't run into this at all personally.
Fun fact: piped.video A/B tests shit. Use it instead of Googles crap.
