I have installed the NoScript extension in Firefox. I typically enable only

When I enabled google.com, Firefox became very sluggish.
Hmm I have Firefox with Noscript and watch a fair amount of Youtube.
google.com does not get to run JS and I've noticed no ill effects.
Ghostery's blocking 7 things on that site (it says) and most of them have
"Google" in the name. Perhaps that's the difference? There's also
"Adblocker for Youtube™".
Because a video is downloaded, to watch it, why not simply use yt-dlp to
download the videos from youtoob, without all of the gunk?
Then, watching the downloaded videos, lets the user choose which viewer
and configurations of the viewer, to enhance the viewing.
