YouTube is testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blocker extensions, making it harder for users to skip ads by directly inserting them into video streams.
SponsorBlock is temporarily blocking submissions from browsers experiencing YouTube's experiment, but the effectiveness of ad blockers like SponsorBlock post server-side ad injection remains uncertain.
SponsorBlock highlights that detecting the duration of ads on YouTube through UI elements like clickable links could still provide insights, indicating ongoing efforts to navigate through YouTube's changes.
