Is there any reliable way to disable the delay before videos, and the "experiencing interruptions" pop-up?

For the delay, I've found this recommended, but not sure it works?
youtube.com##+js(set-constant, yt.config_.EXPERIENCE_INTERRUPTIONS_MODE, false)

And for the "experiencing interruptions" pop-up in the bottom-left area, the rule in the list above doesn't always work:
www.youtube.com##tp-yt-paper-toast#toast:has(yt-button-renderer#action-button a[href*=blocker])

Does it matter for rules in uBO if the domain part begins www.youtube.com or just youtube.com?
I'd assume youtube.com implies *.youtube.com , meaning apply to all sub-domains -- or does uBO not follow that convention?

Also, separately: does anyone also know if there's a way to hide the "3.0" speed in the video > ⚙ > "Playback speed" menu?
It's another thing that is only there to advertise YouTube Premium, as it cannot be used otherwise.

Thanks

Is there any reliable way to disable the delay before videos

No. This behavior is part of Google's attempts to prevent the use of adblockers. Even when temporary fixes are found, they only work for while or for a certain subset of users, because Google does heavy A/B testing and is intentionally introducing this delay. As far as I know, Chromium-based browsers tend to have fewer delays than Firefox-based ones. And uBO is still the best blocker.

In my own experience, I get the delays on Librewolf/Linux no matter what I do. I don't get them on Brave/Windows. Despite identical settings and extensions.

As for the uBO behavior, yes. "youtube.com" includes subdomains. uBO doesn't support the * wildcard.

Hey guys figured some of you might wanna fix your huge Thumbnails in the Related videos section if you already haven't check here for the ublock filter to fix it: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1sak884/thumbnails_for_videos_on_the_sidebar_are_enlarged/

any way to disable the scrolling down in fullscreen thing where the suggested videos popup

any way to disable the scrolling down in fullscreen thing where the suggested videos popup

If you hide the "End screen feed", those recommendations disappear too. I've never scrolled down before, but I tried it and all I get is a black transparent overlay where recommendations apparently should be. Toggling this seems to do it:

youtube.com##.ytp-fullscreen-grid-stills-container

If you really want to hide the black overlay so you can scroll down total emptiness, then there is this mess:

www.youtube.com##.ytp-grid-scrolling.ytp-fullscreen-grid-active.ytp-full-bleed-player.ytp-fullscreen.ytp-disable-bottom-gradient

But it seems to break the player if you scroll down too far, and the more I tried to clean it up the sooner it broke. So just don't scroll. There's nothing there anyway.

Edit - 6/6/26 - Updated filters, weren't working in home feed anymore. :c

New Filters (Should be working):

!YouTube Playables Home Feed HIDE THE BS
www.youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer:has(a[href^="/playables/"])

Old Filters (Ignore now): Hide "Enhanced Bitrate" quality option at the top within the settings gear icon sub-menu:

youtube.com##.ytp-quality-menu.ytp-panel > .ytp-panel-menu > div.ytp-menuitem:has-text(/Enhanced bitrate/i)

Hide Youtube Playables from the Youtube Home feed:

youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer.ytd-rich-grid-renderer.style-scope:nth-of-type(1):has-text(/Playables/i)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer.yte-hide-shorts.ytd-rich-grid-renderer.style-scope:nth-of-type(2):has-text(/Playables/i)

Just posting here to let everyone know I've updated these filters, noticed I had a plugin that was actually hiding them for me so my own filter I posted from Nov of 2025 wasn't actually doing anything at all lol whoops. Lmk if it doesn't work or if it breaks again I'll try and fix it. :)
