User reviews
Pros
- Effectively speeds up YouTube ads, reducing viewing time and annoyance.
- Mute function for ads works well, allowing silent ad viewing.
- Works better than many other ad-skipping or ad-speeding extensions.
- Does not block ads entirely, which helps avoid guilt associated with ad blockers.
- Users find it helpful and appreciate its functionality when used correctly.
Cons
- YouTube increasingly detects the extension, especially when auto-skip is enabled or speed exceeds 3x, resulting in warnings or blocked functionality.
- If speed is set too high (above 3x), YouTube detects it and may produce warnings or disable skipping.
- Sometimes the accelerated speed or mute settings affect the main video unintentionally, requiring manual fixes.
- Auto-skip sometimes fails or is detected, making the mute and speed-up features the main useful functions now.
- Not reliable on YouTube Music and certain edge cases like live videos where ads are played fully.
- Occasionally, the extension becomes broken or stops working after updates.
