A Novel Approach to Youtube Ads (9to5google.com)

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.

I must be an anomaly but... Ublock still works perfectly fine for me on chrome lol

You aren't. I also use Firefox and ublock origin (but sometimes have to use chrome for work).

I'll have Youtube start bitching about... once a week or so, but that just means I have to clear my block lists and re-load them.

Or just use something like Redirector and redirect all youtube links to invidous... or piped.

Nah, the article is just bullshit. uBO works flawlessly on both Chrome and Firefox (we will see what happens in 2024).
