much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
IIRC they mentioned is next to impossible without actually processing the video and guessing when then ad stops on your client (since the ads will change per user, so it can't be done on a server for all users)
video controls change when an ad is playing on YT, which would be a pretty reliable indicator for an extension running at the client side. But that's more a UBO issue than sponsorblock when it comes to YouTube, as I'm not sure sponsorblock could do anything if the controls are frozen.
