I had the same issue, but then fixed it. Click on your Youtube user photo/letter and select 'Desktop site' from the options. After that Arctic Fox will remember the option. Much better! You have to be logged in to Youtube to change this perhaps.
Got a tip for us?

I noticed that as well. I have a 2010 & 2012 MacBook Pro &
I kept upgraded the OS to realize I suddenly get beachballs doing basic things that never got with original OS laptop came with.
I wiped hard drive clean & fresh reinstall of Snow Leopard.
OS is so fast at everyday tasks, No beachballs:
Just imagine running Snow Leopard on a 2021 Mac Pro?
The performance would be out of this world!
Sure, if you didn’t need to edit 4K, 8k or 12k Video etc.
Wow
Each updated or newer OS on a MacBook Pro generally slows it down or you need faster SSDs & bump up the Ram memory.
Web browsers for early Intel Macs
Finding web browsers that are still usable on today’s web can be a chore for older versions of OS X. The following is a list of known, up-to-date (or relatively up-to-date) and maintained web browsers, e-mail clients, and FTP clients, for Intel Macs with at least Snow Leopard support, then Lion...

InterWeb Browser
This browser is supposed to be very compatible with the modern web. I'm going to give it a thorough test run next time I boot my Snow Leopard Mac Mini.

My favorite browser for Snow Leopard is InterWeb.Hello everyone, in your opinion what’s the best browser to use on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard? I know its outdated and not many browsers support it, however I’m being “forced” to downgrade because my university uses a proprietary PowerPC based app for brain imaging and because of that I need rosetta. I’m using a 2009 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM and an SSD. I’m currently using El Capitan, but having to switch between the two OSs one for general use (El Cap) and the other (SL) just for that specific app makes no sense and since my SSD is only 128 GB I’ve decided to downgrade completely. Plus my MBP came with Snow Leopard and it runs like a champ. I will however eventually upgrade to Sierra, but as for now I think I’m going to go with SL. Does anyone else still uses SL because of app compatibility?
Thank you
It was just updated 2/17/2021, supports add-ons such as ublock origin , no-script etc., and really flies with foxpep added.

I still use Snow Leopard because I really like how simple and efficient it is. With InterWeb I can now can do everything I need to do on it. I don't use icloud, I don't have any i devices to sync/connect. Photoshop cs6, handbrake, audacity, all work better for me on Snl than later releases, not to mention disk utility!

But thanks anyway!i realized that was slow Tuesday.Oh it's version 25.. I already have that and last time I tried it was horribly slow...
i think one needs more than internet 25K speeds because that was faster on my old internet set up last year.
Other browsers you can use in Snow Leopard are SpiderWeb, InterWeb and TenSixFox... I personally use SpiderWeb on my SL Mac.
The pale moon devs semi recently blocked downloads of their extensions from foreign browsers. You'll have to find it elsewhere. Otherwise use duckduckgo's bang feature. To search using google just type: !g search-term to get google results, and !b for bing, etc.
You can disable smooth scrolling from about:config.
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel should be false.
Cheers
Maybe check this out also for chrome on 10.6. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...old-macs.2283084/?post=29569597#post-29569597
