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.

    That’s strange. You’d think that because Google isn’t going to remove in-video ads, that would be the sole purpose of creating ad blockers, to remove them. Not for the purpose of making Google remove them from their business model altogether lol. That’s clearly not going to happen.

        Very surprising to hear this, I would never think that would be a viable endeavor to begin with. But fair enough. Honorable of them!

        From my personal perspective though, I’m spending zero time in any effort towards blocking ads. Installed uBlock years ago and I haven’t done anything since. 😌 They’ve done all the effort for me.
