Comment on YouTube now flooding your ad-block with "fake" ads that slow the browser

Not if you use Vinegar [0]. This extension is the main reason I can't switch from Safari to Orion as my main browser. The hit areas on YouTube's player controls are so obnoxious, I installed this just to work around them but it has the side benefit of loading the videos directly into the native video player without ads.

Vinegar and Baking Soda are truly the bee's knees for taming just about any embedded video by replacing them with a simple <video> tag.
