Cc: Mario Subject: Re: Google Chrome and YouTube sometimes, I ran across times where f5 didn't skip the ads. I could be wrong, but I think the author or youtube selectively allows the skipping of ads. I recall there is an icon, graphic or button that appears visually that a sighted user can click to skip the ad. btw, I am curious to see how NVDA behaves with dealing with ads on youtube.
