What is Ad Accelerator?

Ad Accelerator is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your video-watching experience by swiftly and automatically skipping through video advertisements. It works on popular streaming platforms such as YouTube and Hulu, where it detects commercials, mutes their sound, and increases their playback speed to the maximum allowed, saving you time and annoyance. This tool also makes use of available 'skip ad' features wherever possible. As a bonus for tech enthusiasts and contributors, Ad Accelerator is completely free and its source code is available for public contribution on GitHub.

As of April 30, 2024, Youtube now picks up on this as a form of adblock , but it was good while it lasted.
