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.

Why did you move away from firefox in the first place?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

I moved away a few years ago for the illusion of more privacy, while still using Google on Firefox
