        Ads can be randomly placed so there is no specific timestamp to skip.

        This would obviously be very costly for Google, which is likely why they haven’t done it yet, but ultimately an ad blocker wouldn’t be able to block those.

          Don’t give them any ideas, a’right? But yeah. That’s true. We could skip those identifying per frame/time, but adblocking would need more resources.
