Or is there a way to make it somehow auto skip? Figured out they opened Chrome instead of Firefox… Now I am interested in finding some small Bluetooth controller to skip videos in a playlist.

Oh. You are right. I didn’t realize that’s what my daughter had opened… For some reason I just assumed YouTube won the war. I would edit to resolved but I am still curious about a simple Bluetooth button controller.
The answer is yes, then. I haven’t looked for existing solutions but I know bluetooth buttons exist, and you can probably even vibe-code something to do it for you based on an existing adblocker, even if that has to run a headless firefox so it can run ublock origin or something in the background and use that to tell the timestamps of the ads. You have a turing-complete machine. It can do anything.
The war is only beginning, my friend.
Also, FWIW Ublock Lite still works and blocks YouTube ads in Chrome. But it’s also stripped of features compared to Ublock Origin in Firefox.
Also, freetube app on pc will bypass ads and other bs
Better touch tool might be one approach to mapping a Bluetooth button
There are one button bluetooth remotes to trigger a phones shutter. Maybe you could reuse one of those?
Why? Just have it auto skip.
I’m planning on getting a Rii Bluetooth controller for the computer on my tv. It seems well thought out, with a keyboard and mousepad on it. It’s not a simple few buttons though.
I was thinking of one of those ring things people use for their phone.
