Removes ads from Youtube™ & Auto Skip Video Ads

If you already had some YouTube page open before the extension was installed, a page refresh might be needed.

Ad skip is an adblocker for youtube made for Chrome browser to block all ads that are appearing on start when watching tube videos. Also works on other websites and blocks pre-rolls where it possible. Now just get this cool app and enjoy millions of free music and videos! Glad to note that skip ads for youtube work both full screen or floating popup window mode as you wish.

Without the extension: Before or during the playback of the youtube video, video ads can be shown. These ads can be closed with the skip ad or skip ads buttons that are displayed after 5 seconds. And so, you not only need to step in, but also wait for the buttons to appear. A different kind of ads can be video overlay ads that can be closed with the X button, or column ads that cannot be closed.

With the extension: Skip ad will look for the skip ad or skip ads buttons, and click them automatically to close the video ads for you. Although the buttons are displayed after 5 seconds, they are already prepared and extensions can click them to close the ads quickly. Video overlay ads, and column ads, will be hidden.

This took care of those recently introduced notorious non-skippable YT ads! Awesome!

Needs pause button for the times YT detects it. Otherwise works fine.
