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.

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
