Features & Capabilities

YouTube Ad Skipper is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your viewing experience on YouTube by automatically skipping ads whenever possible. Unlike traditional ad blockers, it does not block ads but helps you bypass them quickly to save time and avoid interruptions. This ensures you can enjoy seamless video playback without the disruption of ads while supporting content creators.

Easy to install and use, YouTube Ad Skipper runs quietly in the background, detecting skippable ads and clicking the skip button for you. It's a perfect addition for anyone looking to streamline their YouTube experience without resorting to ad blocking software.

I hate to say that this extension finally stopped working. March 6th 2024 Whether the author decides to update the code to get through youtube's bs I'm not sure. This was great while it lasted though so I do recommend it if they fix!

Is YouTube Ad 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.

YouTube Ad Skipper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
