Decided to test it out myself on Firefox and Edge. Didn't get the delay, but did get ads both times because I don't have adblockers set up over there. The second was unskippable. Ugh.
I tested it in Firefox InPrivate, Edge, Brave, and Chrome and all are identical for me. I think they just fucked up YouTube. ๐
Could also just be a rolling release.
