On Android, the 'Click button' option doesn't work. Could you please have a look at it?Developer response
posted 7 months agoThanks! Could you make sure that, in the extension settings, "If Skip Available" is set to "Click button"? We had to disable it by default as it seems to trigger the youtube detection banner. We might need to consider keeping it enabled by default on mobiles if it doesn't cause any detection issue there. Let us know in the form if you have any additional feedback or reply. For example, if it doesn't click on the button even when "If Skip Available" is set to "Click button", it is likely that the youtube HTML content (e.g., class names or css tags) differs from the typical one based on your location and / or language. In such case, you can help us upgrade the extension, to include the config related to your region/language, by uploading (part of) the HTML content (when the skip button is visible but not clicked) in the form. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18164240, 8 months ago5 stars for being an awesome app for the months I've been using it!
Had some trouble today, but uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed it... - Rated 5 out of 5by Prince Chandela, 8 months agoNew update makes this perfect.

posted 9 months agoThanks for the feedback. The config to set the playback rate should be in the last version (1.66). I also just made the playback boosting after 2 seconds optional so it should hopefully reduce the Youtube detection rate if you keep that boosting disabled. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18460206, 9 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Silver, 9 months agoIt works amazing from what I've seen and used so far; only issue is that it'll skip the entire youtube video to the end, but compared to how many youtube adblockers stopped working recently, it's not that hard to click replay. I also appreciate the frequent replies and changes the creator of the extension makes to maintain the extension.

posted 9 months agoThanks for the nice words! Feel free to create a GitHub issue if you would like that issue to be investigated more deeply. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18397456, 10 months agoOpen source and does exactly what it advertises.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18298784, a year agoWork like a charm. Skips pesky ads like a lightning. If your not looking at the tab and have something playing on background you can only notice like less then a second pause and then playback will continue and if you do watch the tab same ,less then a second pause and you see the ad just flashing by.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16065133, a year agoWorks great! I kinda wish there was a way to not do the Real-Time Acceleration, as I wanted just the auto-skip and my other autoskip extension stopped working. Clear code also, well done 👍
Developer response
posted a year agoThanks, appreciate the compliments! Yes, skipping the accelerated ad would be better from a user experience point of view but I've been trying to inject as little code as possible into the page, not only for clarity for the user, but also to make it less detectable and hence more robust against the YouTube anti ad block detections tools. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18261328, a year agoSeitdem Youtube den Krieg gegen die Adblocker entfesselt hat, verliert man die Lust, überhaupt irgendwelche Videos anzusehen. Die Werbung ist nervtötend, schwachsinnig und zerstört sowohl Informationsfluss wie auch Spannungsbogen. Der adfreie Betrieb ist einfach zu teuer. Für einen angemesseneren Preis würde ich das ja machen. Aber so suche ich wie alle anderen einen Ad-Manipulator der wirklich funktioniert.
Das Addon "YouTube AdBlock" von Martin hält alles, was es verspricht.
Ich habe seit ungefähr 2 Wochen installiert auf einem aktuellen Firefox (122.0 (64-Bit)). Bisher wurde es von YT nicht erkannt oder angemeckert.
Es gibt ja zwei Sorten von Ads in einem YT-Video. Solche, bei denen man nach einigen Sekunden einen "Überspringen" Button angezeigt bekommt und solche, die in das Video hineingeschnitten sind und die man nicht überspringen kann, sondern bis zum bitteren Ende erleiden darf. Bis jetzt habe ich dann immer wenigstens den Sound ausgestellt, auch schon als Signal an YT, dass mir das Ganze zuwider ist.
Das Addon "YouTube AdBlock" von Martin
1.) überspringt die überspringbaren Ads blitzschnell, man kann meist nur ein kurzes Flackern im Bild erkennen.
2.) die nicht überspringbaren Ads werden genial superbeschleunigt abgespielt, so dass man nur ein paar Bilder davon sieht in einer Dauer von vielleicht einer Sekunde.
In beiden Fällen wird außerdem der Ton automatisch gemutet.
Und hauptsache: es funktioniert und scheint unterhalb des Radars von YT zu laufen.
Danke Martin und hoffentlich bleibt das so.
Ich kann das Add-On nur wärmstens empfehlen.
Natürlich wäre es noch schöner, wenn es einen echten Adblocker gäbe, der die Ads absolut entfernt ohne Rückstände. Aber solche werden vermutlich von YT aufs Schärfste bekämpft und geblockt.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich irgendwo einen Donate-Button oder Patreon-Link finden könnte. Übersehe ich das?Developer response
posted a year agoThank you very much for the thorough and positive appraisal. I appreciate your suggestion for a donation, but I have enough money to fulfill my basic needs, so I won't accept any donation.
