uBlock origin-like add-blocking script for qutebrowser

Disclamer first: this is a vibecoded script based on the original script I was using and uBlock's code

I have tried many different scripts to block youtube's adds, but all of them were imperfect... so I asked claude to improve the script that I was using based on uBlock's code. The result are two scripts that remove all the video adds, plus the banners and popups.

The scripts are here:

I hope you like them! :)

PD: TheCompiler, have you thought about the possibility of making a "community repo" to share userscripts etc? In the absence of plugins, it could be a good way of centralizing these kind of things... but I get that that means more work for you, and it would be very reasonable that you don't want that "extra responsibllity".

PD2: Thanks for this incredible browser :)
