✅ YouTube Ads will be accelerated & skipped automatically

PLEASE READ IN REGARDS TO AD-SKIPPING:

This extension can still skip video ads, even after YouTube's recent update (July 2024).

You shouldn't see Ad-Blocker warnings.

Since the ads aren't technically "blocked", it bypasses most of YouTube's Anti-Ad-Block measures.

YouTube is testing different things for different users right now, but it should still work for most people.

If you do see a warning, the extension will deal with it and reload the page for you. You do not need to click anything.

When i use hamburger menu, this shortcut can not combime with together, but the other extensions i have ever used is doing well. In other words, it has SERIOUS CONFLICT with other extension, 'Improve YouTube!' 🎧 (for YouTube & Videos), which i have said hamburger menu is created by that. Besides,whereas language is chinese traditional, why interface are only able to set in speed drag and indicator labels? other labels only show but nothing to set? Another problem, why does set in speed drag only once? when i clicked to another label then back, it can not set again.

This extension works as it speeds up the ads at 16x and the video playback speed control is also a nice touch within the 1 extension. However, the YT ads where they run for 5 seconds for the 'skip' button to be available, on those ads youtube detects it as a AD blocker and refuses to play video unless I disable the extension. I get around by manually hitting the "skip ad" button after the 5 sec video ad runs at 16x. Just something to note for other users if they are experiencing the YT's ad block detection.
