An extension with no user-interface which runs in the background and will effectively auto-skip ads on the site youtube.com by either shifting straight to the end of the advertisement or by either automatically pressing the skip button. Disclaimer this will not remove ads on the side of YouTube since it isn't an adblocker it simply auto-clicks skip or either it shifts your progress of watching the ad straight to the end, so you effectively skip it.
