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’m not going to watch ads, and I sure as hell am not going to click on anything, but my mother in law does now. My mom does too. They now feel like an ad blocker is “too much hassle,” so Google won that fight.

Google won until the next round when, to make even more money for the shareholders, they will put so many ads in a video that also your mother and mother in law will return to use an adblocker. Or leave YT entirely
