What does HackerNews think of fadblock?

Friendly Adblock for YouTube: A fast, lightweight, and undetectable YouTube Ads Blocker for Chrome, Opera and Firefox.

Language: CSS

#12 in Chrome
#24 in Firefox
#110 in JavaScript
If anyone is curious, I found the source code for this: https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock

Seems to do a lot of DOM querying using a setTimeout

   if (isAd && skipLock) {
     const videoPlayer = document.getElementsByClassName("video-stream")[0];
     videoPlayer.muted = true; // videoPlayer.volume = 0;
     videoPlayer.currentTime = videoPlayer.duration - 0.1;
     videoPlayer.paused && videoPlayer.play()
     // CLICK ON THE SKIP AD BTN
     document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-skip-button")?.click();
     document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-skip-button-modern")?.click();
   }
So it looks for the ad player, mutes it, fast forwards it, and automatically clicks on the "skip" button (if available, not all ads are skip-able)
