User Reviews
Users praise the add-on for effectively skipping skip-able ads and improving viewing when it works, but report reliability and Firefox-update issues. It isn’t a full ad blocker, so some ads may still appear. Overall, it’s effective and valued when functioning, with calls for better stability and ongoing maintenance. Pros
- Automatically skips ads as soon as the Skip Ad button appears on YouTube (core feature).
- Does exactly what it promises and works as advertised.
- Reduces ad interruptions and makes watching YouTube smoother while not acting as a full ad blocker.
- Generally works well and receives positive feedback when it is functioning correctly.
Cons
- Reliability issues: the extension frequently stops working or behaves inconsistently.
- Firefox compatibility/update problems: may require reinstall or manual updates and isn’t always stable with Firefox updates.
- Not a full ad blocker: depends on YouTube’s skip feature, so some ads may still appear and cannot be blocked entirely.

Is Youtube Ad Auto-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.
