I am subscribed to 9 lists and disabling only EasyList fixes the hanging.

easylist is the main list, so you'll have a lot of ads on all pages (YT too)

Could someone (with this issue) disable easylist, but subscribing "EasyList without element hiding" from this page:
https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/

Is that delay still present ?

this is NOT an adblock issue. ive just made a complete clean install of firefox, no addons no nothing
absolutly no freezing if whatching youtube videos logged out of google.
the BIG question is why does it matter if you logged in to your google account?!
could be a bug if you have to many subscriptions it slows down/freezes video playback?

something makes firefox freeze as soon as you are logged in to youtube/google account while watching a video, question is what :?:

The provided solution of disabling EasyList and using the one without element hiding works like a charm. Thank you~
