YouTube AdBlock 作者: Martin

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.

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.

Usage:
The add-on should work seamlessly upon installation.
However, it is possible that the default configuration creates issues (such as triggering the YouTube detection banner) for you, as YouTube provides different different user interfaces / experiences depending on the location, language, etc.

Configurations:
You are welcome to adjust the configurations in the extension's settings (click on the extension's icon in the browser's toolbar).
Description of each parameter:

• Playback Rate: the playback speed desired for the ad. The higher the playback rate, the faster the ad will end, but also the more likely YouTube will notice that an adblock has been used.
• Mute Ad: whether to mute the ad. When the playback rate is low, we can hear the sped-up ad sound; so it can be convenient to mute it.
• Hide Ad: whether to hide the ad by replacing it with a black screen while it is playing.
• Boost After 2s: whether to boost* the ad after 2 seconds.
• If Skip Available: action to perform when the "Skip Ad" button gets available. Options:
  • Click Button: click the button, the natural option.
  • Boost Ad: Boost* the ad.
  • Do Nothing: Do nothing.

*Boosting consists in setting the ad timestamp to the end, essentially ending it. This can't be done as soon as the ad starts, as YouTube would detect it.

Avoid YouTube Detection:
If YouTube detected that you used an adblock, you can do the following:

• Adjust the configurations defined above:
  • Reduce the playback rate (e.g., 4),
  • Turn OFF Mute Ad, Hide Ad and Boost After 2s,
  • Set If Skip Available to Click Button or Do Nothing.
• Reload the page.
• If none of the above worked, write a feedback (see instructions at the end of this document).

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.
