It works well :)

Using this since Youtube is cracking down hard on adblockers. This kinda works, you still get a solid second of cancer from each ad before it mutes it. Better than nothing I suppose

It works. Takes a second to activate after an ad starts which is fine. Works well with an ad skipper. One issue: I think when internet conditions are strained, ads don't load into the player properly but the actual video will mute thinking the ad is playing. Eventually the ad might play, but your video will be muted until then. This has only been an issue once for me.
