AdBlock Plus has been blocking YouTube ads for years*, and Google don't seem to care, even though as far as I can tell, it's just blocking "ad3.swf" while allowing "watch_as3.swf", which can't be hard for Google to work around.

I can only assume that Google don't see it as much of a loss of revenue, or that whoever is in charge of the decision doesn't like adverts.

*(It wasn't until I was round at someone's house, and they showed me something on youtube which had an ad on it that I even realised they existed, apparently this was at least a year after they were introduced.)

It's not really smugness, it's closer to the feeling you get when you understand something better than you did the day before, ("oh, that's how a carburettor works").

It's not necessarily a nice feeling, for example I know I'm not going to get to meet my dead granddad again, but I'd rather have it than be wandering around with false hope that somehow everything is going to be fine.
