User reviews
Pros
- Effectively speeds up YouTube ads and mutes them, improving ad viewing experience.
- Generally works most of the time with occasional need to reload the video to bypass YouTube adblocker notifications.
- Ported from a Chrome extension and credited properly, showing a maintained lineage and community trust.
- Lightweight and easy to use, with positive user appreciation for its intended functions.
Cons
- YouTube has started detecting the add-on, leading to videos not playing and prompting users to disable ad blockers.
- Auto-skip feature is often broken or no longer works, requiring manual intervention or additional extensions.
- Sometimes the add-on speed-up and mute features accidentally apply to the main video instead of ads.
- Occasional lagging and the add-on does not work reliably on all platforms like music.youtube.com or Twitch ads.
- User concerns over malware or detection as an ad blocker raising suspicion, though not confirmed.

The speed up is nice and all and the muting of the add also, but this addon has some issues on music.youtube.com where it pauses the ad and you or in this case i needed to interact with the first ad on each video/music piece that had an ad.
