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.
Invidious has a bug where it doesn’t update as frequently as it’s supposed to. I’ve had this issue on both my self hosted and public instances. I’m thinking about switching to freetube. Always hear about it but never tried it

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