If you think it is the case, then I'd love to merge your changes to adapt that other container name to this script.

Not Working :(

It was not working because the it was meant for the amazon.com and not the primevideo.com. I added the latter to the regular expression and now it should work.

Working ! Thanks <3

Can you make a script to auto skip that ad before the video starts?
