Also hate clickbait title cards? Theres now an extension to remove those as well: https://dearrow.ajay.app/
This SponsorBlock extension also integrates with yt-dlp so downloaded videos can have ads stripped in the final video. That way you don't even have to ever go to youtube itself. The war isn't over yet and people must keep fighting back.

Project mention: How to Build a LinkedIn Outreach Pipeline (Without Getting Your Account Banned) | dev.to | 2026-06-12
What worked was switching to Patchright, a Playwright fork that patches those patterns at the Chrome DevTools Protocol level, before any page JavaScript runs. It was a one-line replacement: import { chromium } from 'patchright' and the rest of the Playwright API stays the same. We paired that with installing real google-chrome-stable in the image instead of relying on bundled Chromium, which gives a more believable TLS handshake. LinkedIn's edge can fingerprint the handshake itself through JA3 and JA4, and bundled Chromium has a slightly different signature from the Chrome a real person runs.
