Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

AdSkipper is browser extension that automatically skips in video ads on websites. It works silently in background without disturbing your flow. No need to wait those 5 seconds for the skip button to show up. Just install it and forget about it.

AdSkipper doesn't block ads, but rather skips them, so websites cannot detect it that easy, as if it were just a regular ad blocker.

Make sure to reopen your tab or browser after installing the extension.

I love this but it has stopped working with the new updates. Youtube registers it as an ad blocker and refreshes the page until the video entirely restarts.
