Clever, but what's stopping YouTube from knowing the ad time and waiting until that time has elapsed on their servers before serving the video? I guess you can take a break and do something else during that time, but with the latest uBlock Origin release, they update their filters automatically every 6 hours such that I have not seen a single ad since the debacle a couple of months ago.

If YouTube decides to start the timer on how long the ad played before serving the video I already made solution for that.

I can mute the ad and play it in the background, while showing embeded video to user that doesn't have ads, and then seamlessly switch those two players when ad ends.

There are few other techniques I developed that already work without an issue and are just waiting to replace current one if anything happens

Smart. Well good luck then, hope the project goes well.

This, the add-on seems great but selling it as "undetectable" seems disingenuous.
