Features & Capabilities

Automatic AdSkipper is a powerful browser extension designed to automatically skip video ads on various websites. It runs silently in the background, ensuring you don't have to wait for skip buttons or endure unwanted ad interruptions during your video playback experience.

Unlike traditional ad blockers, Automatic AdSkipper skips ads instead of blocking them, making it less detectable by websites. Easy to install and forget, it works seamlessly to improve your web browsing and video consumption. For those interested, the project's source code is available on GitHub, and you can support its development via Buy Me a Coffee or Patreon.

User Reviews

Users praise Automatic AdSkipper for reliably skipping ads and improving YouTube viewing for many, often running smoothly. Common complaints are recent performance regressions: slowdowns, Firefox warnings, and broken YouTube features (autoplay, history). Several users also report YouTube detecting it as an ad blocker or intermittent failures where ads are not skipped.

Pros

Effectively skips YouTube ads for many users (quickly advances through ads).
Improves YouTube viewing experience so some users can disable heavy adblockers on the site.
Generally smooth and reliable for many — several users call it fabulous or highly recommend it.

Cons

Causes YouTube slowdowns, lag, and is sometimes flagged by Firefox as slowing the browser.
Breaks or disables YouTube features for multiple users (autoplay, playlist autoplay, and history tracking).
YouTube sometimes detects it as an ad blocker after recent updates, causing page refreshes or blocked access; some users also report the extension not working at all or inconsistently.

Recent reviews

Quickly speeds through the ads. If the regular adblocker doesn't work for you, this is probably the next best alternative.

All you need to know. It works!!! Saved my youtube experience after they started extremely slowing down people with adblock. I disable adblock on youtube, but keep adblock on every other website now.

Is Automatic AdSkipper Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Automatic AdSkipper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Request access to the following domains: youtube.com
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Automatic AdSkipper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
