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.

Very surprising to hear this, I would never think that would be a viable endeavor to begin with. But fair enough. Honorable of them!

From my personal perspective though, I'm spending zero time in any effort towards blocking ads. Installed uBlock years ago and I haven't done anything since. 😌 They've done all the effort for me.

That’s because people behind uBlock do that on behalf of you. For free. They’re not even accepting donations.

Exactly what I mean. I'm very grateful.

Very reasonable reasons, by the way.
