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 tried actually searching for info about it, but it seems that YouTube and Google want to be as vague as possible about how it actually works.

Yes, let's be a YouTube creator and base my income on something extremely vague and shaky. Sounds like a good life decision.

Sounds about as stable as asking the all mighty magic 8 ball how much you should be paid. Maybe yt should just do that for the creators and let them in on it. /s
