YouTube is using a new method of displaying video ads

During tests I stumbled on a new way that video ads are being displayed in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyk2n-UpRRE

There is no option, or any disclaimer, stating that this is an ad playing, only a yellow progress bar at the bottom.

Ignoring the fact that this might go against EU regulations regarding the clear disclaimer of ad playback, the way it is being pushed to the user seems to be server injected, which if true then it will be impossible to block using conventional methods.

I will investigate more about it, but at least for now the extension is not ready to control those ads.
