## Description

Skipper is a Firefox add-on called 'skipper' that seamlessly skips YouTube ads. It loads and immediately skips ads, making it compatible with DNS blockers like Pi-hole. It can skip 'unskippable' ads, normal ads, image ads, and popup ads. You may still be able to support the channel since the ads are loaded, although not confirmed.
