A super clever workaround for YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers sees YouTube ads sped up dramatically instead of blocking them.

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.

My ff got hit by the blanket ‘no fire fox’ issue. Now even with no mods youtube won’t work at all.

Downloaded free tube. Keep thinking to make some kinda macro to auto switch to it when I search in ff search bar.
