Youtube Autoclose Ads

Automatically close ads on youtube videos after an amount of seconds.

Youtube Autoclose Ads is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience by automatically closing ads after a customizable delay, defaulting to 5 seconds. Unlike traditional ad blockers that remove all ads and potentially reduce creators' revenue, this extension balances user convenience with creator support. By allowing a short ad display before closing it, the extension ensures content creators still earn from monetization while minimizing your ad viewing time. Simply adjust the delay through the extension's settings page (chrome://extensions) to suit your preferences and enjoy videos with fewer interruptions.
