In a major change to mid-roll unskippable ads, Google is letting Live Chat decide when ads are skipped.YouTube said in a blog post that livestream ads won’t play when chat activity is at its highest (via Dexerto). If viewers send enough messages, react, and keep things lively, YouTube will automatically pause ads across the whole channel. You don’t need Premium or any special browser.
