Keep in mind that blocking CDN’s without knowing what they are used for can disable you to view any video at all…
I therefor advice you to try to use some adblocker, which i asume is what you really intend to do.
There are many options to choose from, if you are a bit knowledgeable wrt computers in general you could use uMatrix in Firefox.
If you add “Decentraleyes” also in firefox, it will eliminate to download common code used on may websites, which will also make you use less bandwidth.
That is related to the quality of your video you watch so select a lower quality to view faster.
uMatrix which i mentioned above is not an adblocker.
It is a content blocker that you can use to block certain domains with, which as a result can function as an adblocker.
But it is more as just an adblocker
You can always start a new topic just for that, and mention my name using @ so i will get a notification.
I have been using uMatrix for a long time so i could help maybe…
Is it slow wi-fi or a slow internet package? If it is slow wi-fi, get a faster router and wi-fi dongle and/or get closer to the router or move the router closer to you. If you have access to the router, check to see that your IP address does not have speed restrictions applied to it.
You could have a very fast connection, but if your router is slow, then you will not get the benefit of a faster connection. Updating your equipment could be a solution, but It’s just a guess with not knowing what your equipment is.
I used to use Umatrix, but now I use PrivacyBadger add on/extension now. It is simpler to use. Ublock Originnot ublock is a good ad blocker in my opinion.
Depending on where you live, a VPN may also be useful. It could be that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) throttles (slows down) video content. When inside a VPN, the ISP may not know you are streaming video, so it may not throttle it.
Their issue is a mobile slow connection. The service cannot be improved beyond the alotted 2mbps or so:
I think OP needs all-around recommendations for all things besides that
(though some router or powersaving or DNS tweaks may help)
and in particular so they can ‘watch youtube easily’ … and have stumbled onto umatrix as ‘one of those things’ to achieve it.
And of course on that connection we are talking 720p or 1080p maximum.
The problem with these kinds of queries is it borders on the ‘tell me the best tips to make my computer faster’ … even if its for internet stuff in particular. Theres thousands of possible tweaks and even more opinions.
Wow ok then thanks for your help .We have just switched isp and now get speeds of 30 mbps so that’s awesome .It was @TriMoon that suggested Umatrix to me .I am slowly understanding it .my G.P.U is the problem now i can not switch to make nvidia default.
It is preferable to make such changes at the router if you can.
If you cannot you can force it on the system.
One way is in NetworkManager itself: Connection Settings > IPv4 > Method = Automatic (Only Addresses) > DNS Servers
To change the DNS server your router assigns you, you need to look at the settings of it’s DHCP server, it will be in some menu called home networking or similar if it has it…
Yes exactly very lacking i cant even find information about updating firmware .the useless company that installed this in the caravan no nothing.so if i click on that ive searched the whole section and cant find anything that says DHCP
