Nice find. I tested it on some pretty obscure vids no one watches and the long wait for a buffer that stops after 3-5 minutes to buffer some more seems to be gone.

Does this only apply if you use windows firewall?

Thought that was one of the first things everyone turned off.

Ever since my phone and browser update, youtube has been shit. I can no longer open a vid link in another tab and it would go into full sccreen mode and actually load the vid.

The link explained that Time Warner Cable specifically, and perhaps other ISPs in general, are throttling Youtube's CDN, which is (as I understand it) a cached version of various videos that allows them to offload work from their main servers onto these CDNs that are more 'local' to the individual.

What this does is block your computer from checking those, so instead you request the video from youtube directly which will cause your computer to download the video in real time using your entire connection.
