User reviews

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.

It does work yay

I tried it and I can't make it to work completely. I believe that it works ok when the channel name has only one word (like "Monotone") but when a channel name has two words, maybe even with different uppercase letters (like "FrivolousFox ASMR") in that case it doesn't do anything. Could you fix it please?
