Worse case scenario, we gotta make an extension that detects the ad UI and blanks the screen and mutes the audio until its over
I just found a userscript that mutes, skips, and lets you black out the ads. Worked during my brief test of it. I'll probably use this if adblock or other clients are bricked.
