Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

I believe they're referring to the upcoming Manifest V3 changes. My understanding is that currently uBlock uses the old Manifest V2 that they're ending support for once V3 gets pushed. I believe there is a V3 version of uBlock but because of the limitations in V3 it's not as effective at blocking ads.
