Add-on summary

Play any YouTube Video without annoying Ads.

Skip Video Ads in YouTube™ is an extension that auto skips ads after YouTube provides a skip ad button. It does not block an ad. A browser extension that automates skipping ad on YouTube. This is not an ad blocker; it just automates the process of clicking on the "Skip Ad" button on YouTube.

This is basically useful when you are watching a YouTube video, and an ad starts playing. YouTube allows you to skip the ad after 5 seconds, but if you can't be bothered to click it yourself, this extension clicks that button for you.

Configurations can be set per channel. Did you know: YouTubers are paid 50% of the revenue for any ads playing on their videos. You can use this extension to play ads longer for channels you want to support, or skip them entirely for some.
