SponsorBlock (and DeArrow)

@iain the ui needs to change to include ad links, so the data for when ads happen should still be retrievable _somewhere_ in the page. Then just a bit of math

@sponsorblock That's a relief. Thank you for all your great work.

It'd be pretty fuckin poggers if you could also use this data to skip the injected ads!

Also thanks for making such a great extension!

@gimmechocolate @sponsorblock @iain I don't think you can. Ads will have different lengths depending on our you got a 5s one, a 15s unskippable or a 30+s skippable ad

@GwenTheKween @gimmechocolate @sponsorblock @iain and the YouTube client side code in the browser will need to understand and deal with each of these situations, meaning the dom environment of the page will need to contain this info, meaning an ad blocker can make use of it

@sponsorblock @iain fingers crossed

And thank you for the many hours you have already saved me.
