@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org Agreed. On desktop, with uBlock, I just don't see Invidious as having a worthwhile value proposition... especially with the bug where, when the Play/Pause button is focused, the arrow keys don't do anything.
(I habitually never click the video frame because if the browser is bogged down, it can take 10+ seconds for YouTube to react, while Play/Pause always reacts quickly.)
I got used to not logging into YouTube years ago when they tried to force me to make a Google+ profile.
@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org ...that said, I should find or write a YouTube userscript which forces 480p or 720p quality on logged-out video playback, rather than "auto". "auto" is often over-sensitive to YouTube's heavy page loads, resulting in videos starting at 144p and spending too long there.
(And, "auto" or the inconsistent play/pause performance, Google is famously impervious to receiving feedback from users in forms other than randomly-appearing "on a scale of 1 to 5, how well is YouTube working today?" popups.)
