Tell HN: If you put vids in PiP on FF you can use arrow keys to skip through ads
So if you play a vid, such as a show on prime and such, that has ads that are un-skippable... if you are using firefox, hit the pic-in-pic mode https://i.imgur.com/YrDcZby.png and if your vid layer is active you can hit the right-arrow and skip through what are otherwise un-skippable ads...
- samstave 4y agoI noticed that full-screen streams which have ads allow me to drop to PiP and then all of a sudden I can use fast-forward arrow key and skip ads through ads...
- samstave 4y agoSo I just had a convo with a buddy at netflix, >>"_There are often PIP bugs that block video in the secure video pipeline_" - So, is this exploitable, as opposed to just being "cool"
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agohaha. jokes on you. doesn't ublock origin strip video ads? why are you not using it? there is also sponsorblock
- samstave 4y ago:-) Yes I am familiar - This is different... Go watch a "freevee" (with ads) show on PRIME. Play the show, in PIP - but when it shows said ads, try scrubbing in pip vs full screen and youll see.
