yes, but if youtube only serves you the real video chunks after your client plays through the ad chunks (all in the same media stream to the client), theres gonna be some waiting involved, not like adblocking today where it is instant.
You could trick youtube into believing you are ahead in the video so that it fills the buffer earlier
