Thank you!

Next time this happens can you take a screenshot of the DOM focused on that btn? that way it could be tailored to that specific implementation of the "Skip ad" btn.

Would you mind explaining how I’d do that? I had a look, but wasn’t too sure Thanks!

It's now started working? I'm not entirely sure why. I'll let you know if it happens again!

Edit: On further reflection, I think I had the extension set to only work on certain pages, and I had reinstalled it before trying to check the DOM. I must've had the wrong pages allowed or something . I'll allow it to all from now on
