  Won’t you please consider how this might make the advertisers feel? They might get very upset…/s

    What about the shareholders? How will this effect them?

  I pause videos to read what’s on screen.

  The add on I need is to automatically send the advertiser a message telling them I’m boycotting their product due to their participation in increasingly shitty advertising.

    I pause videos to read what’s on screen.

    An add-on that screenshots on pause would fix this. But yes, I understand the use-case as I do the same. Google doesn’t give a damn (about users).

    I’m sure the advertisers will be terrified of those automated messages.
