Hi HN!
Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

Site-side HN comment section licking corpo boots as usual. Youtube’s insistence on pushing ads into my face when I go out of my way in all circumstance and facility to not get advertised to was enough to push me to Invidious and Freetube. Any further, and I’ll just go back to torrenting, and death to Google on the way.
Firefox support?
