User reviews

Just doesn't work. Gives some weird stuff about AM and PM, rather than skipping video intros as advertised.

I thought it would be used to skip the intro of specific YT channels. It doesn't.

Marko Štimac/Roberto Lion, I can confirm that the YouTube intro skipper extension is 100% functional, and I’ve tested it on the channels you mentioned. However, there’s something interesting I’ve noticed. For example, when I typed 'Jokes Everyday' or 'Jokes.Everyday,' the extension didn’t work. But when I copy-pasted the exact same text using [CTRL-C & CTRL-V], it worked perfectly! I’ve tested this across 10-12 different channels. Here’s when it doesn't seem to work: 1. In some channels, When you manually type the channel name (not sure why this happens). 2. After reloading/refreshing the current tab. 3. When you copy/paste the link on the same page. But it works flawlessly if you try it in a new tab, and even better in a completely new session.
