Show HN: YouTube is now blocking Ad Blockers – So I just make ads run 16x faster

[corn-dog]

The recent uproar about YouTube and Chrome blocking Ad Blockers left me wondering

What can I do about it different to other solutions?

So, as an extension developer I whipped together a little script to make Ads play 16x faster.

- You would use this as a backup to your AdBlocker - when YouTube forces you to turn the AdBlocker off - Only speeds up Ads - doesn't affect your normal videos

This demo doesn't click "skip" automatically - but it will in the next version :)

If it works reliably and it's not gonna be patched in a few days, this might be very interesting!
