Mannheim real (ID: 000000fdd2f35a56) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/27/2022 I was mainly going to use this for YT Music until I pulled up a song and it tried to skip the ad but crashed the ytm tab lol, probably some desktop issue or something.

pururut (ID: 000000e9c703c5f9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/14/2021 It's acting weird since today, playing a second of the Ad repeatedly, then restarts the video from the beginning. Please make a fix! I'll turn it off for the meantime
