Thanks for the response, I just checked how many times the Mutationobserver actually triggers while watching a video, and it's so much more than every 300ms! So yes, your method seems more efficient.
One thing I did, in order to hide the ads shown to the right oft the video, is a tiny bit of css code:
#player-ads {display:none !important}
The ads are still loaded, so the publisher should be paid (unlike with adblock, which blocks the request).
Video overlay banners can also be handled the same way, as I found out they have a different container than Video ads. Hiding it via CSS would make it longer "visible" and publisher would get paid better as closing the banner is handled by youtube's base.js so it's probably tracked.
Video ads would continue to be handled the same way, with a click.
The final code would be like this:
JS
setInterval(()=>{for(constbuttonofdocument.getElementsByClassName("ytp-ad-skip-button")){button.click();// "Skip Ad" or "Skip Ads" buttons}},300);

That's a good idea! Thanks!
I will add it to the next version.
