ublock origin works great using default settings, e.g., using popular freeware "obs studio" to record whole movies while displayed full screen in the browser, they play back normally without commercial interruption (but only short pauses where those intrusive commercials were skipped, maybe a fraction of one second)

i like to use pale moon for this, but probably any browser that works with the ublock origin extension should work just as well, maybe even better ... try it for yourself and see (e.g. youtube, tubitv, etc.), movies, tv series, saved to mp4 format for viewing on other devices, using obs "display capture" to record streaming content while displayed full screen, e.g. in mozilla firefox uncheck "use recommended performance settings", and uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available"; obs "hide obs windows from screen capture" and software video encoding (same as stream, x264) save streaming video (this method may not work with some "digital rights management" sources), and easily remux *.mkv to .mp4 . . .
