A Novel Approach to Youtube Ads
A Novel Approach to Youtube Ads
A super clever workaround for YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers sees YouTube ads sped up dramatically instead of blocking them.

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.

uBlock Origin works just fine. I use Firefox btw
I watched two hours of Rocky & Bullwinkle uninterrupted the other day thanks to FireFox and uBlock Origin
Anyone else getting the "you will be blocked after 3 videos" yet? Haven't seen anyone talk about it but I saw it for the first time yesterday.
Not if your uBlock origin is up to date, sometimes you have to clear the cache so the filters update to bypass that
This may require a refresh of your blocking lists and/or a making sure ublock is updated to most recent versions.
I know it's explained in the subreddit for ublock origin and I think people reposted it sonewhere on lenmy too, but I can't remember where exactly.
Anyway, after doing that it works perfectly. No more of those screens. Best of luck.
I haven't seen it, but I usually use Invidious on my computer because of YouTube's buggy, slow design
