Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

Hi HN I built a simple, lightweight ad blocker Chrome extension and wanted to share it with the community for feedback. What it does: Blocks common ads, popups, and banners Handles dynamically loaded content using DOM observation Very lightweight and fast No tracking, no unnecessary permissions Why I built it: I wanted a minimal ad blocker that doesn’t slow down browsing or overcomplicate settings. Chrome Web Store link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ajmonbkfjffgdhhacjm... I’m especially interested in: Performance feedback Bug reports Feature suggestions Thanks…
