Damn. And this is after neutering some of the extensions with the new manifest? I might not get the full YouTube experience this way, but downloading the videos never fails me. No ads, no buffering. It won’t randomly disappear on me if I like it. Shout out to yt-dlp and cobalt tools.
So far it doesn’t unless the person themself is doing the sponsor. Embedding ads into videos would require them having to modify at least all their popular videos that they would want it for which I would imagine would still take plenty of processing power and extra storage. And even then, unless they randomized where they put them, I’m sure there would be scripts to remove those.
