    Oh no, please no.

    Will uBlock still work or will that also break when/if this gets added?

      Legally, YouTube has to tell you you’re watching an ad. This means that at least visually somewhere (it could be baked into the video stream, for example), there should be a distinctive pattern that extensions should be able to grab and make the video fast-forward.

        If youtube manages to stop fast forwarding, maybe at the very least we could auto-mute, and maybe overlay photos of puppies or something

          Bad idea. People would get a negative Pavlovian reaction to puppies after a while.

          Imagine walking down the street, seeing a puppy and immediately getting annoyed! That’s no way to live, man! 😄

      As I understood the ad will be a part of the actual video file you receive but, unlike fixed sponsor integrations, the time it’s shown at will change every time. That is going to be impossible to get rid of without AI unless there are some exploits
