Description

PROBLEM: Speeding up advertisements causes false positives in youtubes adblock blocker, which causes youtube to cause trouble. Currently the only way to not get these trouble is not to use a default playback speed over standard speed (x1).

SOLUTION: The addon shouldn't speed up advertisements or at least give us that as an option.

ALTERNATIVES: none

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: This will help many people not getting problems with youtubes adblock block.

"SIDE EFFECTS": none

CONTEXT:

Thank you!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the extension's playback-speed handling and how it identifies advertisements; implement or locate the requested opt-out behavior without changing ordinary video speed. Done means advertisements are not sped up when the option is enabled, while regular playback speed remains configurable.
