Works great while blocking video, muting audio but it does not skips video when option is presented. It must be due to new updates to site. Can devs please update the extension to support it.

I really appreciate this. If I have to endure ads then this is the best way to go. No blah blah AI voices and no accompanying images or silly claims to harsh my mellow. It could be six stars if it tapped that skip for me!
