"Perhaps I'm wrong to feel they violated the spirit in which I shared the project".

No, you are not wrong. I hope that other person with the Discord server has not ruined your enthusiasm to release future projects open source.

I do not even use Chrome but saw this story with your GitHub post mentioned. Greedy people with no shame who present the work of others as theirs have always existed. You are an asset to the community - they are not.

It mutes it and I cant unmute it after the ad, unless I refresh the page. Isn't it supposed to unmute after the ad? None of the controls work till I refresh.

i removed the extension because it started to fast-forward the actual youtube content as well as the ads...but even with the extension removed, it's still fast forwarding the content... not sure how to revert things to normal now

As the title says, when I watch in PiP, an ad plays and accelerates, it forgets to unmute.
I am using OperaGX and another extension (YouTube Enhancer) that adds PiP functionality to YouTube.
When I do, it forgets to unmute the player when an ad plays out.
I don't know how to show it because the ad plays out very quickly and there are no console logs that I think I can show.

My workaround for this is a userscript that has a function of muting and skipping ads to cover for the unmuting.

Have seen multiple requests for supporting Twitch.

I looked briefly at the site, seems like it might be a more complicated platform to support

"Works well with Chrome but not so much with Edge browser.
I have installed this to my parents pc, they use Edge because it's the default & they already have so much Microsoft things synced to it. So switching browser is not an option.
The extension detects, accelerates & skips ads automatically but fails to mute them."

Hey I'm based in the uk, not sure if you use the channel 4 player/rte player, i've built a similar style of plugin as yours (using your code as inspiration) just like to poke around myself to understand the code.

I can do a pr to add support for both if you'd be interested,

Secondly, I was wondering if there's a better way to handle this code:

const video = document.querySelector('video');
const adElement = document.querySelector('.video-ads.ytp-ad-module');

the check for the ad element and video seems doubled up? although there could be a good reason for it

Firefox support would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Recently I've been bumping into some issues on YouTube:

Sometimes:

• it seemingly instantly skips ads (on page load, without them playing) and continues accelerating the video
• it accelerates ads as normal but continues accelerating the video

When this happens I have to refresh the page 3-4 times on average until it doesn't accelerate the video. That might be because by then YouTube doesn't try playing beginning ads?

There are no video issues if its a mid-roll ad, that still works perfectly.

Thank you for the extension, it's been very useful :)
