I read in a different post that the code was misinterpreted to be a 5 second sleep before showing the video, but instead was waiting 5 seconds to execute some anti-ad-block script. Still pretty sleazy either way.

There's a video going around of a guy using a useragent spoofer to prove that it only does this on non-Chromium browsers. So I don't think it's necessarily anti-adblock, but it could be interpreted that way when you consider Google's plans to implement DRM in Chromium.

Had a look at Louise Rossmans video yesterday about this and from what he showed he got it on all browsers.
