Youtube Ad Skip Key - Skip Ads Effortlessly

"Youtube Ad Skip Key" is a Chrome extension that provides a shortcut key to focus on skipping YouTube ads without blocking them. Users can utilize the default 'Z' key to place focus on the 'Skip Ads' button, requiring a second press of 'Enter' to skip. The extension also simulates the closure of in-player ad buttons and YouTube Premium pop-ups. Designed for ad-supporting users who may want to enjoy interesting ads, it supports a QWERTY-based key layout and requires switching tabs to the ad-playing YouTube tab.
