One thing you can test is to apply a Chrome user-agent on Firefox when visiting YouTube. In my personal experience that actually noticeably improves the situation.

That’s super interesting! I’m not versed enough though, do you have like a tutorial you recommend or should I just Google it?

There's a bunch of extensions that allow you to switch user-agent easily, I personally use this one, it includes a list of known strings to choose between as well.

And to check that it’s working, there are websites you can go to which will tell you what browser they have detected you are using.
