I got the only 3 more videos and you wont be able to view any more videos message, so I caved and disabled my blockers.

I did add a Chrome extension that automatically clicks the skip ad button, though.
Assuming the countdown "hits 0", which may not even happen, all that youtube does it put some overlay on top of the video, that's...wait for it...blockable by ublock origin.

There is already a youtube adblocker extension available, which I am using. look up "Adblock for Youtube"
Honestly this is a bad approach. You're better off sticking to one trustworthy blocker (ublock origin is currently probably the best one out there), instead of installing random less known crap. Otherwise you're going to end up with an extension that the developer sells it off to some unscrupulous individual that pushes an update that turns it into malware. This in particular is a common problem with Chrome. And highlights why the less is more mantra is important with browser extensions.
