Since the last time I picked up this game, Coolmath added an ad in the middle of playing the game. How do you guys deal with this? There is no chance I will buy a membership, so is there a way to get around this?

I refresh the page everytime I reset to avoid any mid game ads. Also ublock orgin can skip the ad in like a second so I use that too.

If CoolMathGames ads start becoming a bigger detriment to speedrunning, I will implement in game time which cuts loads and ad time.

By using Inspect Element, I can eventually make it so the game does not produce a popup ad in the middle of the run. However, because of the changed code, I would need to click once after I grabbed every target to advance levels. I would think this is "altering the game" and therefore basically cheating, but it is the only way to functionally speedrun the game. Would you consider this breaking the rules?

I would need to see done in a run. As long as it doesn't alter the physics or core mechanics of the game I don't see why not.
