YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it's what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.

Agreed, Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I've had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.
