Ye, turns out a couple lines of code were found with a 5 second delay in the code loading on youtube.

Apparently it's the anti-adblock script. Tho Google has been caught on this behaviour before

An anti-adblock script that stops running if you switch the user-agent to chrome?

I'm guessing chrome, developed by google, has an alternative approach. But also, it's google, they most likely did this intentionally

Here's the article. He showed in the video, https://www.ghacks.net/2023/11/20/youtube-video-loading-delayed-fix-inside/

EDIT I used the uBlock Origin Filter and it works.
