YouTube AdSkipper - Auto Skip YouTube Ads

"YouTube AdSkipper" is a Chrome extension that automates the process of skipping ads on YouTube. It clicks the skip button on skippable ads and speeds up unskippable ads, reducing interruptions while still displaying advertisements. The extension also includes features like auto-muting ads, personal ranking, and provides users with updates on its website. Although it may face detection issues from YouTube, the developer is working on solutions to improve its functionality.

Extension summary

Auto Skip advertisements on YouTube™.

IMPORTANT! Unfortunately it seems YouTube may be detecting the extension so you may see the "ad blockers are not allowed" popup when ads are skipped. Sadly I am unsure yet of what to do, but when possible I will try looking into it. I also want to confirm if this extension really is being detected by YouTube.

v1.1.2 - Hotfix (10/09/2024) -Fixed extension not clicking the skip ad button (Again). -Fixed "fix adskipper" button so now it should actually fix the problem it detects.

*Note: Technically not an AdBlock, this clicks the skip button on skippable ads, and tries to speed up unskippable ads. Allowing ads to still be shown, while limiting the interuptions for the user.

Most features can be enabled/disabled by clicking on the extension. (Features may be disabled by default)
