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.

    Yes ads have always existed in some areas of the internet but weren’t central to the entire thing, they were more usually a way of earning a tiny bit extra on the side.
