Extension summary

Analyze keywords

A browser extension that automates skipping ad on YouTube. This is not an ad blocker; it just automates the process of clicking on the "Skip Ad" button on YouTube.

This is basically useful when you are watching a YouTube video (or a playlist), and an ad starts playing. YouTube allows you to skip the ad after 5 seconds, but if you can't be bothered to click it yourself (or you are AFK), this extension clicks that button for you.

Configurations can be set per channel. Did you know: YouTubers are paid 50% of the revenue for any ads playing on their videos. You can use this extension to play ads longer (or not skip) for channels you want to support, or skip them entirely for some.

Says *exatly* what the name implioes, although no, it does NOT *BLOCK* youtube ad, it will make it less of a hassle when you have to always go back to whatever youtube video you have in in the background to click "Skip ad". No, Not and ad-blocker, just an ad-skipper. I'm not sure if this works on chromebooks however, sicnet heyre known for also not being compatible with other chrome extentions, and ect, but I use windows / chrome and it works just fine, im sure you just gotta make sure it's activated first. (thats doen by checking on extentions and making sure it's available)
