#5I use individious because the current youtube frontend is bloated and slow on firefox. Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend instead of blocking frontends that other people prefer.

Because Google has run the numbers and the ad revenue his drivel generates ekes them out a profit.

Firefox users represent a very small portion of the user-base. Also it's in their interest to nudge you towards chrome, no?
Among minority market-share browsers Safari gets more attention because the users are wealthier -> ad impressions can be sold for more.

They have. Do you know how many ads they can stuff into people's faces now?
Youtube is unbearable without ablock. If there are people who are able to watch it like that, then it shows just how long you can boil the proverbial frog.
