Ian Shere (ID: 00000010010abdc2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/03/2023 I hate the way YT has really cranked up the volume on the ads they play (and play WAY too often). I thought this sounded like the perfect solution, and it would be if it did what it advertised. Sadly, it doesn't. I think it skipped one ad, but has done nothing since. And muting the sound....??? LOL, LOL , LOL.... nope... Perhaps I missed something, but I don't think so.
