Youtube keeps adding ?themeRefresh=1, slowing down the client #126

YouTube will (most of the time) will add themeRefresh=1 as a URL param, and this causes the page to reload twice every time you click onto a new page, instead of loading quickly (where the red bar at the top of the page appears, showing loading progress)

As you can see in the video, loading in the browser without UV is a lot faster, as there is no redirect being done by YouTube.

whenever you are going on youtube just copy and paste the link but add themeRefresh=1 to the end, you can modify the proxy yoursely to add themeRefresh=1 to the end of the url if it doesnt exist if the url starts with https://youtube.com

that is so weird, that actually fixes it, thank you, i will edit the proxy so it will do that automagically. thanks again <3
