I found 1-2 minutes was decent (30+ sample size on average), and a tradeoff for convenience. Background sampling would be ideal but privacy concerns and technical limitations (especially on mobile devices)
Thanks! Will work on a fix
There may only be a couple of ads per 'sample' though, so maybe not enough to be interesting.
If you have attempted to use this previously without success, please retry - it should work fine now :)
Secondly, I tried a chrome extension, but these don't work on mobile devices (80% of social media users) so it was redundant (plus very brittle as it depended on specific DOM elements). Also, a lot of content is video/audio, which isn't well captured by static analysis.
A video is a bit annoying to take, but yes, it was the only solution I found!
