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.

    They’re probably not making the infrastructure decisions around which browser they get to use.

      True. Having said that in the majority of workplaces you can still download another browser if you wanted. If Firefox works just as well as chrome, why not use it.

        For me specifically (though I don’t use it for YouTube) the work apps I’m required to use are codes for a chromium browser and the IT department doesn’t want us downloading anything to the work units. So I either have to use edge or chrome (both of which are provided). If the work apps don’t work with one we’re instructed to switch to the other and so on. When I was in the military we were told to use Internet explorer and a lot of websites made for the military didn’t work without it. This is a legitimate thing.

          I completely understand you. My previous company had an incredibly strict IT policy, they blocked all downloads on their devices so you’d need an administrator to download anything for you.

          I’ve heard of stories with internet explorer. I know a lot of web apps built for labs only work on Internet Explorer, they just never update them to work with anything else.
