JAKARTA On Saturday, January 13, several YouTube users who used advertising blocking tools experienced a browser slowdown problem. This problem is thought to have originated from the YouTube system.

Over the past few months, YouTube has continued to block access for users who use ad blocking tools. One of the actions they took last November was slowing down the performance of their platform in a crowder.

With this action, it is not surprising that some parties again accuse YouTube of being the mastermind. However, YouTube denies the allegations and says they are not slowing down platform access for ad blocking users.

"The latest report about users experiencing loading delays on YouTube has nothing to do with our ad blocking detection efforts," the company told Android central on Tuesday, January 16.

YouTube does not like its users who try to block ads while still using free accounts. However, the company offers problem solving assistance for users who experience this.

Hours after YouTube provided clarification, well-known ad blockers such as Adblock and Adblock Plus said that their app update brought some fixes that made YouTube's viewing experience slow.

AdBlock and Adblock Plus users have recently experienced a lower performance and higher CPU usage while browsing YouTube and other websites, said the Chief Technology Officer Gentrud Kolb, quoted by Android Central.

Upon this statement, it can be concluded that the problem of slowing down the crowd for ad blocking users does not come from YouTube, but from the blocking tool itself.
