User reviews
Pros
- Effectively speeds up and mutes YouTube ads, improving viewing experience.
- Generally works well most of the time with positive user feedback.
- Lightweight and simple to use, ported from a Chrome extension.
- Provides a better way to handle ads compared to watching them at normal speed.
- Supportive developer community acknowledged for maintaining the add-on.
Cons
- YouTube has started detecting and blocking the extension, causing it to stop working correctly.
- Auto skip feature does not work consistently or has been removed, requiring additional add-ons for skipping ads.
- Sometimes causes the video itself to play at increased speed or become muted unintentionally.
- Occasional lag or instability, including needing to reload pages multiple times to bypass ad-blocker detection.
- Lack of updates and support, leading to reduced compatibility with YouTube's changes over time.

Hat bisher funktioniert. Ich hoffe, dass YT diese Erweiterung eine Zeit lang toleriert. Gefühlt 20 % der Zeit auf YT mit Werbung zugemüllt zu werden ist einfach unerträglich. Dank an den Entwickler!

Extension safety
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.
YT Ad Speedup - Skip Ads Faster requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
YT Ad Speedup - Skip Ads Faster has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
