Youtube Ads not blocking #6

Hey Drew, First of all, a huge thank you for making such a legendary plug-in which I have been using above 4 years now. The reason for this is that recently I have noticed that youtube's "in-video" are not being blocked by adblock as it used to be. I have tried blocki ad manually by right on the video but it affects the actual video aswell. I know its your old project and you might probably have moved on with it but hoping if you can point me toward the solution it will be great. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback!

This project is way out of date and I haven't worked on it in years. All I did was tweak the old AdBlock to remove the "acceptable ads" feature. It was barely any work. But fixing bugs like this would probably be a lot of effort, especially since I'm not that knowledgeable about browser technology.

I stopped using this extension a long time ago. I don't even use Chrome any more. I prefer uBlock Origin and recommend you to try that one. Or feel free to make a PR if you can figure out how to fix this.
