Lapsing "Skip Ad" button

I wanted something that skipped ads as soon as possible, so I made an app.

Are you cooking, showering or simply can't be bothered to wait for that "skip" button to turn solid white?

This app will do just that.

https://github.com/ComfyDoug/Test

There is a readme file with descriptions and instructions in case you want to recreate the same yourselves.

Or you can download the already compiled file.

I'm also working on another one to hide/obscure any ad that I deem inappropriate, like AI dating, gambling and such.

Curious to know if anyone would like to try that.

Stop Posting those Pesky Ads online, and Sending Junk and Spam through Email.

I am in my 60s, and I like to play games on my iPad to keep my mind sharp. Many games have these pesky ads that pop up every 10 minutes. Most of the ads are about learning AI programs that claim to be free. I learned from experience that not everything is free.

I will admit I have watched ads until the end, filled in my personal information, then thought about it, changed my mind, and canceled the free trial.

In the past, the mailman delivered junk mail, and we usually threw sales ads in the trash. Email arrived and shortened the time for letters and bills to be sent and received, and those pesky ads started taking up more space in your inbox than your usual mail.

Personally, I like my mail being delivered by the mailman because it is a hard copy that can be used as proof. Email has become so complicated that I rarely check it. The spam, junk mail,
and email from people I don't even know.

I do not like those ads that offer a free trial period, because I often forget to end the subscription before the trial date ends. These ads, spam, and junk mail need to stop.

My YouTube now says Translate to Chinese?

My YouTube now says Translate to Chinese?

I’ve never used ad blockers before and downloaded one called pop up blocker due to the number of downloads and reviews and it worked pretty well tbh. But I’ve noticed this on my youtube. Location and language all are correct however this is still what shows up, I’ve since removed it and started using uBlock Origin Lite however It still shows that. (it’s barely been 10 mins, I refreshed it lol) should I be concerned and how can I fix it, if it is indeed a problem.

I’m not the greatest with stuff like this as you can probably tell. Thanks!

Problem with "secret adblock"

So every time i go to a website that requires for a adblocker to be turned off it instantly shows a anti adblock popup, i usually just delete it with inspect element, but in some cases i turn it off but it somehow still shows that screen, so i completely remove the adblock from chrome but it still shows up!?!?!? I check a adblocker test it shows 75% even tho i removed it, none of my other extensions block ads. To this day i still need help with this problem any sort of help would be appreciated.
