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.

I don't know man. This is actually pretty genius. Because this way creators still get paid. I wouldn't mind using such extension on Firefox. Problem is I still want to block all trackers and other nonsense...

Doesn't the creator only get paid if someone actually clicks on the ad? Pretty sure the creator gets nothing if no clicks are accumulated.
