Or is there a way to make it somehow auto skip? Figured out they opened Chrome instead of Firefox… Now I am interested in finding some small Bluetooth controller to skip videos in a playlist.

    Yes, but that seems like over engineering a solved problem?

    And it would be rather tricky. The button would be simple; even a pair of Bluetooth headphones could do it. The tricky bit would be in figuring out how long the ad is and pressing the 10 second skip key the correct number of times and then pressing the skip ad button if required.

    Easier (and more secure) just to use an ad blocker.

      On one hand I agree that today, the easiest solution is freetube or similar.

      However, this problem seems to become “unsolved” every other Wednesday.
