Do you just drag and drop into mpv or how does it work? With youtube seemingly trying to prevent the use of adblockers, I have to look for alternatives ahead of time.
Downloading videos via yt-dlp and playing via MPV will not take all the RAM. And Firefox with uBlock Origin can be set to hard mode to block scripts, or even nightmare mode for a barebones no JS experience.
Can I introduce you to Lynx?
Sure, play your youtube videos on Lynx.
We all know that’s one of the main things people use browsers for, that’s not work, these days. ;)
I oftentimes play youtube videos in mpv.

Depends on how big the video is and how large you have your mpv buffer set to ;)
A buffer of upto 1 minute will always work fine. MPV defaults are fine. Browser will always be worse, no matter what. (Playing to the bait…)
Honestly, I don’t even use Lynx
