Those ads would need to be unskippable, otherwise we could just pull the timestamps that the Skip button uses and sponsorblock will be all complete again ๐
Fair point! I wasn't thinking they would be skippable, but boy do I hope that I was wrong...
Even if they're not natively skippable, ads have to be indicated as such by law. Whatever indication they use can be detected and used to create blockers.
