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 installed this other one https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-accelerator/gpboiedfklodfhngobidfjecdpmccehg?hl=en because this one seems to the FOSS.

When I already watch YouTube videos at 3x-4x speed so I can still understand the ad 😅

Some people on HN say that creating ad blockers for YouTube is a waste of time. Google's not going to remove in-video ads either way.
