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.

      The “Look at what they need to do to have a fraction of our power” Invincible meme comes to mind.

      Pathetic to be satisfied with sped-up annoyances when they can be easily skipped altogether with a browser not controlled by the ad company.

      I don’t know man. This is actually pretty genius. Because this way creators still get paid. I wouldn’t mind using such extension on Firefox. Problem is I still want to block all trackers and other nonsense…

      Firefox and just pay for a reasonable 30 second YouTube ad which is just a blank screen with the text “Use Firefox Already”
