+Yesterday's note about user backlash against YouTube's new in-stream video ads promoted a number of reader to ask, "is there a way to block YouTube's new ads?" The answer is yes, provided you're a Firefox user.
+
+The extension TubeStop will replace all the video players on the YouTube site with the embedded player, which thus far [do not support the in-stream ads][3]. 
+
+It's worth noting that blocking in-stream ads was not the point of TubeStop. As its name hints the plugin was originally developed to stop videos from auto-playing. In order to do that, TubeStop simply swaps out the site player for the embed player, the ad-blocking feature is really just a happy coincidence.
+
+Of course at some point YouTube will probably include the in-stream ads in the embeddable player which means this method won't work, but for the time being you're covered.
+
+Grab the latest version of TubeStop from [developer Chris Finke's site][1]. The extension is compatible with Firefox 1.5 - 2.0.0.x, the latest Flock builds, and Netscape Navigator 9.0.
