Works great on YouTube in conjunction with uBlock Origin. Would be 5* except that it breaks some unrelated sites. You can restrict it to just YouTube in the Chrome extension settings, but the extension ought to do this by default.

I was mainly going to use this for YT Music until I pulled up a song and it tried to skip the ad but crashed the ytm tab lol, probably some desktop issue or something.
