YouTube detects skip and pops up the "adblock" UI #74

Title describes issue, when an auto-skip happens YouTube "allows" the skip but blocks the video from playing.

We can add a integer/float field in the extension configuration. So this can be used as a random time interval plus 5 seconds before skipping to "trick" adblock detection

Can confirm. Started +- 2 days ago and now the player gets disabled after every ad.
Also about a week before that the skip started to be inconsistent.

This might not be as simple as adding a random delay before clicking the skip button, as this extension already does that.

YouTube might actually track the position of the mouse to detect whenever the click was genuine user click. Maybe firing a mouseover and mousedownbefore click might trick it?
