Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

I moved back to Firefox like 5 years ago. But saying the vast majority of tools don't seem to do the trick is a pretty true statement, since that's one browser with one app, and the browser only has a sub 10% market share.

Why did you move away from firefox in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

For a little while, a long time agoit was Firefox that had gotten slow and bloated, while Chrome was not. Then, things changed again.

I moved away a few years ago for the illusion of more privacy, while still using Google on Firefox
