Because you insist on using Chrome and can't install Ublock Origin and Sponsorblock.

The self-flagellation continues.

    Actually I use Waterfox with both, and ProTube on mobile, but sadly that doesn’t work on my shitty Roku TV

    uBlock Origin Lite blocks YouTube ads just fine, actually

    Until Manifest v4 then v5 then v6 which I will bet you a billion dollars I don't have will keep choking out ad blockers

    Don't need sponsorblock I think, or maybe I'm just not watching videos where it's needed. Just ublock origin.

    Sponsorblock definitely helps on the in-video ad reads if they're excessive or irrelevant. Ublock won't get those.

    I recently found sponsorblock through another youtube bitching post months ago and found it was just as amazing as ad blocking. Sometimes it doesnt get them all, but it hits most and saves minutes sometimes off of watching. I absolutely think its a must have now.

    For anyone that doesn't know, SponsorBlock is just a extension where someone marks a part of video as:

    • Sponsor (/Ad)
    • Self Promotion
    • Interaction Reminder
    • Highlight (to skip to)
    • Intermission/Intro Animation
    • Endcards/Credits
    • Preview/Recap
    • Hook/Greetings
    • Tangents/Jokes
    • Non-Music Sections (in Music Videos)

    You can then set what it'll do for each caregory: auto skip, put a button you click to skip, color the seek bar, or obviously just do nothing but let the video continue normally.

    It's so nice, I actually use it most for auto-skipping intermissions in recordings of live content these days... It even records how much in total: I've skipped 9688 segments (totalling 14 days 15 hours 3.5 minutes) since I installed it.
