Hey the creator here, was not expecting this to blow up at all. I made this I guess because of the Streisand effect, I probably never would have bothered if it weren’t for all the news about ad blockers not working.

I intend this as a second line of defence against ads, where the first line would be a conventional ad blocker.

After work I’m going to investigate the same technique for speeding up paid sponsor portions of the video.

My background is a web dev, but I make extensions in my spare time :) I recommend making some yourself they are a fun little project. This one only took about 4 hours so I’m laughing at the interest :)

If you want to see a way more awesome extension I’ve created check this out - https://mobileview.io/
