Watching Hells Kitchen and it won't get past the opening ad. it gets past the others just fine though.

It stopped working :( It's showing full ads on all videos in case the devs needed to know

I'm trying to watch Sons Of Anarchy and all the commercials are still playing. :( You asked: Hi, thanks for the information. Let us know if this issue also occurs on other videos? Also want to ask: Do full ads play, or just fragments? Right now, a block that’s over a minute long is limited to about 10 seconds, but that’s how the new version of the extension works. The previous one was too unstable. Yes, full ads are playing. I haven't watched any other shows at this time. I restarted my browser and it's working great now! Thanks!!
