Owen Ganson (ID: 00000065cf47f84f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 First impressions: So far, so good. I'll update this review later as I notice either good consistency or some issues and likely increase/reduce my rating as necessary. I'm on the lookout for the following issues: – Letting video ads play momentarily before blocking them – Inconsistency blocking video ads (i.e., not always blocking them) – Inconsistency blocking non-video ads – Blocking content (thumbnails, video/comment interaction tools, comments, age-restricted prompts, etc.) – Noticeable/noteworthy performance issues (bugs, errors, hitching, slow loading, etc.) Edit 1: I've already noticed the first issue. Not good. This is pretty much a dealbreaker for me, but I'll continue testing anyway just to see what other issues come up. Edit 2: Yeah, this happens a lot, and sometimes an ad plays for almost a full second before getting detected and blocked.
