Не працює взагалі. Вся реклама на ютюбі присутня. Хром перезавантажував, все намагався робити

Googleが対策を行った結果、スキッパーとしては機能していません。にも関わらず寄付を要求してきます。このツールは現時点で使用するべきではありません。 As a result of Google's fix, it no longer functions as a skipper. However, it still asks for donations. This tool should not be used at this time.
