    I just made my own extension to get rid of ads. I didn’t want to wait for other blockers to figure it out so I found a way that worked for me.

    But yeah, get fucked YouTube.

      So what was the way to ultimately crush YouTube ads?

        Oh I definitely don’t have a better plan than ublock origin folks, they are still the best. But there’s also a way to programmatically exploit the skipable ads to instantly skip without any countdown shenanigans. It’s not blocking the ads but I never see them. And it was a good stopgap for when the shit first hit the fan.
