I no speaky HTML5. I assume this is a script that would detect an ad by its element and then knock the playback volume down by 50%? That definitely puts you at the mercy of Youtube throwing up a "by the way this is a commercial" flag in the stream.

On the other hand, writing a Chrome plugin or the like that grabs the audio stream and knocks the playback volume down proportionally based on excursions from LKFS would make you 100% content independent.
