Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

    Everyone’s hating on this approach but I think it’s nice that we have other options. I’m sure Ublock is going to come out on top of this cat and mouse game YouTube is playing with them, but if YouTube manages to temporarily disable Ublock I’ll look into this solution. Thanks!

      That’s why I tried to present it without an anti-google seeming bias. I wanted people to just have the facts and not all the BS in the article. I think it’s a good option for people who don’t want to block ads so creators they watch benefit.
