YouTube is now blocking Ad Blockers – So I just make ads run 16x faster
I can recommend this this FF extension to get fine-grained video speed control, without a 2x speed cap (which often isn't fast enough)
https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed
It has served me well for years and works on YT ads as well as other sites with similar players

The Science of Accelerated Playback
TL;DR: faster playback translates to better engagement and retention.
Average adult reads prose text at 250 to 300 words per minute (wpm) [1]. By contrast, the average rate of speech for English speakers is ~150 wpm, with slide presentations often closer to 100 wpm. As a result, when given the choice, many viewers speed up video playback to ~1.3~1.5 its recorded rate [2] to compensate for the difference.
Many viewers report that accelerated viewing keeps their attention longer: faster delivery keeps the viewer more engaged with the content [3]. In fact, with a little training many end up watching videos at 2x+ the recorded speed. Some studies report that after being exposed to accelerated playback, listeners become uncomfortable [4] if they are forced to return to normal rate of presentation.

Download a video speed controller plugin. It'll allow you to basically fast forward through the ads.

We're the fastest talking state in the US. I wouldn't have guessed that. Link to article in comments
Try Video Speed Controller for Chrome or Firefox. Great granular control (increments of 10% by default), and whatever they use to speed-up & slow-down maintains the audio quality much better than YouTube's default speed controller. PLUS it works on almost all modern video players (not just YT).

Any Way To Increase Video Playback Speed?
On firefox(PC) this addon will allow any html5 video (plex, yt) speed to change. https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed It allows something like 115% which is nice for me.

watch at more than 2x?
If that doesn't work, I suggest submitting a feature request on https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed/issues

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
https://pi-hole.net/
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).
