For Firefox users only, here is might be another solution as addon: YT Siphon – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

YT Siphon is a browser extension that lets you choose to open YouTube videos in alternative frontends. Instead of auto-redirecting, it gives you the power to decide with simple shortcuts. Key Features:
  • Alt+J: Open the current YouTube video in your chosen frontend.
    • Tip: You can customize this shortcut in your browser settings.
  • Shift+Click: While on YouTube, use this to open a video (by clicking on thumbnails / links) in the configured frontend in a new tab.
Perfect for those who like to browse the YouTube homepage and selectively watch videos on alternative frontends. Also handy if someone shares a YouTube link with you and you prefer watching it on a different frontend.

YouTube started cracking down on Ad Blocker usage, so this is my workaround. [...]

YouTube has upped the game, the X will display after ~5 secs and the countdown will start only after you switch to the tab. It happens after every song or so, so it is officially annoying.

Has anyone here noticed the 5 second delay when opening a YouTube video in a new tab?
Seems to affect non-Chromium browsers (?).

See also here and here.

Possible solution is this filter:
www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)
I am using Firefox and Librewolf but thankfully haven't encountered this issue or adblock warning yet but I use Youtube without login.

I am on Firefox too, but no delay here, maybe the reason what is mentioned in this article from neowin:
Apparently, the problem does not occur when uBlock Origin is used, so if you are annoyed by the five-second loading of YouTube on Firefox and don't want to use a User Agent swither workaround, you can always use the good ol' uBlock Origin.
