Add-on summary
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.
Works on both desktop and mobile, and in both YouTube Music and Videos.
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 the value set in your config (e.g., 10). 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.
Usage: The add-on should work seamlessly upon installation. However, it is possible that the default configuration creates issues (such as triggering the YouTube detection banner) for you, as YouTube provides different different user interfaces / experiences depending on the location, language, etc.
