[YouTube-API] Re: Youtube Javascript API not returning player functions with certain browsers?

Hello Grey,

Again, I'm not a lawyer and the YouTube API Terms of Service governs
how you can and cannot use the API.

As a general comment, though, there's a difference between "not
blocking" ads/links and making it so that your custom overlays prevent
those things from actually being clicked.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
