Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
Everyone’s hating on this approach but I think it’s nice that we have other options. I’m sure Ublock is going to come out on top of this cat and mouse game YouTube is playing with them, but if YouTube manages to temporarily disable Ublock I’ll look into this solution. Thanks!

What a bunch of FUD. Firefox and uBlock Origin still work on Youtube just fine.

Part of the reason I am not advocating for or against the extension or the source. People can judge for themselves. I thought it was funny (not a great idea but defined an interesting implementation). For the record I use both unlock origin and Firefox, and I also run a pihole at home. I’m just putting out there that it exists.

I moved back to Firefox like 5 years ago. But saying the vast majority of tools don’t seem to do the trick is a pretty true statement, since that’s one browser with one app, and the browser only has a sub 10% market share.

Yeah but uBlock Origin still works on Chrome too

Why did you move away from firefox in the first place?

Maybe they mean the vast majority of tools on Edge and Chrome?

uBlock still works on chrome.

I don’t know about FUD, but that’s either straight-up disinformation, or an out-of-touch tech writer that needs to retire…

uBO works on Chrome as well atm. I have to use Chrome on my work laptop, but at least they installed uBO.
