Features & Capabilities

Skip Silence is a browser extension designed to automatically skip silent sections in videos and audio files, enhancing your media playback experience. Currently supported on Firefox 91 Beta due to a fixed bug, it seamlessly works with most websites utilizing HTML5 video or audio elements, including popular platforms like YouTube and Instagram.

Inspired by CaryKH's on-the-fly video editing concept, Skip Silence speeds up portions of media where silence occurs, allowing for more efficient viewing or listening. The extension requires minimal permissions: access to the active tab to monitor media playback and storage to save user preferences. Additionally, it respects user privacy by not collecting or storing any personal data. Open source and actively maintained, you can find the project's code and report issues on GitHub.

I liked it better when you could toggle this per tab. Now it's just on or off for all tabs

Is Skip Silence Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Skip Silence requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Skip Silence is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
