youtube doesnt load properly unless i turn on the built-in VPN

In the recent month my youtube loads very slowly and when the video finally loads, the comment section, the recomended videos, and the left panel with subscribed channels dont load. A trick for faster loading is to click on a video, then ctrl+R to force refresh. This speeds the loading, but the above sections still dont load. Turning on the built-in VPN immediately makes youtube works properly: everything loads fast and fully. But the moment i turn-off the VPN - back to the problem.

I tried disabling all addons. Restart mozilla. Loading youtube in incognito. Clearing the cookies for the site. All of the above. Nothing helps.

I'm sure the problem is mozilla-related, because on another laptop connected to the same wifi everything loads fine. On my laptop, on chrome everything is fine. Loading videos from different sites works fine.

i found this article with similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1508828 but solution there seems to be updating the ublock's filters. I followed the steps mentioned, but my problem is still present.
