Earlier quoted context omitted.

Best I managed with mine (which pressed Skip for you) was to make it mute ad-videos

So, you stopped blocking ads and muted them instead?

yeah, Google said this is an ad blocking extension when it got it to press the skip button. I was only making it for myself so I didn't want to risk get in my account banned by testing, testing, testing.

I don't think you can easily block those ads as they are part of the video...

The problem is not blocking the ads. I already do that. The problem is how to prevent YouTube recognizing my extension as an ad blocker

I see. I'm quite impressed you were able to block those video ads in the first place. I thought they originated from the same domain as the regular videos.
