Description

The new update went well (for a couple of weeks). The ad at the beginning was sped through very quickly and was silenced; with an option to click a link for the ad in the middle and the usual skip button at the bottom-right.

Then today YouTube found a way around the extension (again) and now the ads are not just at the beginning again but in the middle of the videos. That's the most annoying part: being in the middle of the video.

Please fix this as soon as you can with an update!!!

Research direction

The issue reports YouTube ads bypassing the extension after an update. Start by examining the extension's content scripts in the src/ directory, particularly those that interact with YouTube's player. Look for recent changes in YouTube's ad delivery that might require updating selectors or interception logic. Test the extension on YouTube to reproduce the ad breaks and check the browser's developer console for errors.
