Light youtube ad skipper.
Skipper: Light YouTube ad skipper
Skipper is a Firefox add-on called 'skipper' that seamlessly skips YouTube ads. It loads and immediately skips ads, making it compatible with DNS blockers like Pi-hole. It can skip 'unskippable' ads, normal ads, image ads, and popup ads. You may still be able to support the channel since the ads are loaded, although not confirmed.

Add-on summary
You didn't see anything... right? - Instead of blocking the ad's it will still load them but then immediately skip those. This works great together with a Pi-hole or any other DNS blocker. So you do not need to install an full adblocker just for youtube.
User reviews
The platform that shall not be named seems to push more ad's with this extension on, but the extension works wonderfully as advertised.
