I use FreeTube which seems to still work fine but it seems to me like the browser plugin that opens YouTube links in FreeTube does not work properly sometimes

I’ve just started using freetube. I’ve noticed short periods of very low quality stream once in a while. Not sure if the periods match Ad time, tho. Do you experience those low Q periods?

I usually just switch it from auto to 1080p or whatever is available and that fixes it 90% of the time, sometimes it takes a second or 2 to fix the quality though.

I might but I am not sure. My internet speed is often a bit unreliable so if I had a drop in quality or issues with buffering I ´just attributed it to that.
