Features & Capabilities

Skipper is an open-source and creator-friendly browser extension that automatically looks for and interacts with 'skip ad' buttons, enhancing accessibility on platforms like YouTube by allowing users with disabilities to minimize repetitive manual interactions.

Skipper was developed in response to the lack of suitable ad-management extensions that met my personal needs and expectations. After doing some research, I found that the issue I was dealing with was shared by users of common accessibility software due to a gap in functionality that made interaction with specific buttons difficult. Due to this issue, many users download ad-blockers, although this brings a new handful of issues with it!

With this in mind, Skipper aims to tackle various common issues found in existing ad-management options by implementing solutions to these issues in our core design.

Skipper is not designed, intended, or marketed as an ad-blocker of any kind.

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 Request access to the following domains: youtube.com

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 has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
