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 completely understand you. My previous company had an incredibly strict IT policy, they blocked all downloads on their devices so you’d need an administrator to download anything for you.

I’ve heard of stories with internet explorer. I know a lot of web apps built for labs only work on Internet Explorer, they just never update them to work with anything else.
