About this extension
This is an Add-On Accelerating and Skipping YouTube Ads in Less Than a Second.
- Real-time Acceleration: Ads are sped up on the fly.
- Auto-Skip: Bypass ads as soon as they become skippable.
How it Works:
A process, running when the current tab is youtube.com/watch, periodically checks the page content for ads. If there is one, the process accelerates it by setting the playback rate to 1000. As soon as the "Skip Ads ->" button shows up, the process clicks it. When the ad is skipped, the process increments a local private counter of skipped ads in the browser.
Privacy and Security:
- Besides clicking on the "Skip Ads" and increasing the ad playback rate, it does not make any changes to the page.
- It does not collect any data.
- It does not store or retrieve any cookies.
- It stores the number of ads skipped in the local storage, which can only be read by the browser (this information is not accessible to anyone / anything else).
Permissions:
- Access your data for sites in the youtube.com domain: www.youtube.com on desktop and m.youtube.com on Android.
Issue / Bug Report:
Please write a review or open an issue at https://github.com/MartinBraquet/youtube-adblock/issues.
