Review summary

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.

2024-10-08	Ga*****	I love this but it has stopped working with the new updates. Youtube registers it as an ad blocker and refreshes the page until the video entirely restarts.

2024-06-21	Eh*****	Since the last update, (June 14th 2024), AdSkipper fuck up the youtube historic. I had to disable the extension to get my historic register again. It disable autoplay and add a crazy lag with youtube. Since I disable the extension everything is back to normal. Please rollback to the previous version of the extension

2024-06-15	jf*****	For some reason, it randomly started completely disabling autoplay in playlists and it also randomly started showing the "more videos" embed when pausing videos, though that one only appears in some videos and I am not sure if this extension is the cause of that one. And yes, I am on version 3.2.
