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.

Obscurity is an advantage in an arms war like this. The more popular a workaround gets, the more effort will be put into defeating it. You know it works, it doesn’t need to become popular to validate that.
uBlock is already massive, what are you on about?
Firefox is still sitting at under 5% of users and it’s the Firefox flavour of uBlock origin that I’m seeing people say still works at blocking YouTube ads (plus it sounds like Google is shutting them out of Chrome, though we’ll see what happens to the browsers based on forks of chromium). It’s a massive number of people in absolute terms, but tiny relative to the number of users who don’t use FF + uBo.
uBlock still works just fine on YouTube ads from Chrome.
