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.
