    I still don’t see that they broke FF specifically, they’re fighting back against adblockers, including the ones in browsers like brave.

        1. Hasn’t been happening on my Firefox
        2. There have been reports on other browsers as well, so this isn’t a firefox specific issue (p sure I’ve seen some people that use chrome claim they had this issue)

        From what I’ve gathered from other threads, it’s meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users. It appears though that Firefox users ended up in the crossfire, while uBO can be rigged to block the sleep() function in that case, nullifying the wait.

          But it did target Firefox users, with or without adblock. All it took was a user agent swap and the delay went away.
