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.

    Yeah, no. I’m not willing to even have the ad for any amount of time. IMO ads should be banned, and before anyone reaponds, no i don’t give a shit about the consequences of a change that substancial

      Then this isn’t for you. That’s fine. Adblockers like ublock origin still work. So do newpipe, piped and other front end services. Firefox and other non-chromium based browsers etc. Do what you want with your devices.

        (abolitionists circa 1800) IMO slavery should be banned, and before anyone responds, no I don’t give a shit about the consequences of a change that substantial.

        Some things are simple and don’t require a nuanced take. I’m not saying ads are anywhere near as important as slavery but the consequences are smaller too. Thinking something is an unmitigated negative and should be got rid of regardless of consequences is a legitimate position.

          I don’t blame you, just explaining why it’s silly to expect a server driven platform to offer its services for free. You don’t want ads, pay for premium, it’s that simple.
