I installed a userscript today that plays ads in muted embeds hidden behind the actual player so that it effectively and quite literally blocks them while still leaving actual ublock disabled on the site. works pretty well.

- If I wanted to learn how to do that what should I search for?
  
  not on my computer at the moment so I don't have a copy of mine to send you but this one looks like a similar premise.
  
  Do you mind updating with what you use when you get the chance? I think this solution is great, currently im using firefox with ad blocker but I do feel a bit quilty as some creators I enjoy dont get the ad revenue they deserve but it seems this way they still would get paid.
  
  Sure thing. I'll update my comment at around 2:30pm pacific time.
