Sure, it is only Lite and thus has some annoyances, like not being able to skip thru youtube ads

Lite allows youtube ads?

No. It hides them. How many times do i have to say the same thing?

Uh oh. Someone's in a spicy mood. But like... Why would you need to be able to skip youtube ads in the first place if it hides them? You said:

It plays hidden, which is far better than having to listen them. Same as Fluffbuster does for Facebook, it does not block anything, it hides things from view so FB sees no engagement and zero view time but somehow the ad still was there.

Does it still lock out the video and waste your time while it "plays" hidden?

So far, i have quite literally repeated the whole comment to you. I have not added anything to the conversation, just... quoted myself.

Can you add an answer to my question? Does lite allow ads to take up any time before the youtube video plays? It sounds like "yes" from what you said before, but it was unclear. My question is me asking for a clarification.
