## Description

This extension automatically skips YouTube ads, providing a seamless viewing experience. By detecting and skipping ads on YouTube videos, it ensures that you spend more time enjoying content and less time waiting for advertisements to end. It works by detecting both the presence of skip buttons and ad containers, automatically interacting with the page to skip the ad when detected. If a skip button is unavailable, it fast-forwards the video to the end of the ad.

Key Features:

Automatic ad skipping: Skips ads as soon as they are detected.
Works for all YouTube videos: Applies to both ads with a skip button and those that don’t.
Lightweight and efficient: Runs silently in the background with minimal impact on your browsing experience.
Perfect for users who want a distraction-free YouTube experience without any interruptions from ads.

PS: The supportserver is not always up-and-running since I pay the server by the hour. But you can always contact me trough e-mail.
