About this extension
This is an Add-On Accelerating and Skipping YouTube Ads in Less Than a Second.
- Real-time Acceleration: Ads are sped up on the fly.
- Auto-Skip: Bypass ads as soon as they become skippable.
Works on both desktop and mobile, and in both YouTube Music and Videos.
Demo video
How it Works:
A process, running when the current tab is youtube.com/watch, periodically checks the page content for ads. If there is one, the process accelerates it by setting the playback rate to the value set in your config (e.g., 10). As soon as the "Skip Ads ->" button shows up, the process clicks it. When the ad is skipped, the process increments a local private counter of skipped ads in the browser.
Privacy and Security:
- Besides clicking on the "Skip Ads" and increasing the ad playback rate, it does not make any changes to the page.
- It does not collect any data.
- It does not store or retrieve any cookies.
- It stores the number of ads skipped in the local storage, which can only be read by the browser (this information is not accessible to anyone / anything else).
Permissions:
- Access your data for sites in the youtube.com domain: music.youtube.com, www.youtube.com on desktop and m.youtube.com on Android.
