Features & Capabilities

Skipper - a simple extension for comfortable video viewing in any video-player.

Features:

Skip ads using a hotkey. Default combination: Shift + S.
Protection against popup/redirect ads. The extension detects and blocks attempts to open a new tab or redirect to a third-party site at the moment of clicking on the video player, and also neutralizes invisible clickable layers overlaid on top of the video.

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data; all settings (hotkey, toggle switch) are stored locally via standard browser storage and synchronized between your devices via your browser account.

This is an open source project. The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/democratik/Skipper

Is Skipper 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.

Skipper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

Skipper is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
