This task can be performed using FixGuard
Free ad blocker with experimental video ad skipping
Enable video pre-roll blocking
Make sure FixGuard is installed and enabled as a Chrome extension. Open its settings, find “Block video pre-roll ads,” and switch it on. This experimental option targets pre-roll playback on YouTube and Dailymotion.
Reload the video page after changing the setting, then start a fresh video rather than resuming an existing tab. Watch for skipped ads, delayed playback, blank players, or looping, since experimental blocking can affect playback.

More about playback checks
Test one site and browser session at a time. This isolates whether a failure comes from FixGuard, the page state, or another ad blocking extension.
- If ads still play, confirm the toggle remains on, then hard-reload the page.
- If playback breaks, disable other blockers, reload, and retest the same video.
- Share the site, video behavior, and whether reloading fixed it when sending feedback.
