"Skip Silence" is a browser extension that allows you to autmatically skip parts of a video that are silent.
It is highly inspired by CaryKH's automatic on-the-fly video editing tool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8orIurGxw).
The extension works with most websites that use a HTML5 video or audio element to play, this includes YouTube and Instagram.
The full source code of this extension is available on https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence, if you find any issues or have a question please visit https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence/issues.
This extension needs the following permissions:
- "activeTab" => Access the currently active tab to monitor the video or audio source's volume and speed up and slow down.
- "storage" => The extension saves the settings you set using the browser storage
We do not collect or save any usage or other data about the users of this extension.

- (2024-11-08) Harry Newt: No work no more... might be because im using video speed controller, but ive always used VSC
- (2024-11-03) sfrewsadasdsa: Almost perfect. When increase the silent part's speed, it makes impossible to understand the words. However it was what I've been looking for and there isn't any alternative. Thanks
- (2024-04-29) Amidst.: pathetically trash extension, doesnt work, only worked once, i tried so many things, straight up trash
- (2024-04-28) Kevin Nguyen: I did make a review years earlier and felt the need to revisit. The extension is fine. It does skip over some quieter video parts, but I do have peeves with it: - I have to enable the extension on every new tab. - Even with the mute silence check, there is still sped up audio, even over spoken parts. I paid for the dynamic threshold beta and I have feedback. - It struggles with skipping over background noises/music. - It still doesn't skip when it's below 5%. I still like this extension, but it needs revision, especially with the dynamic threshold.

- (2023-05-14) 黒猫可愛いよね?: I like it very much, but I can't set a custom speed. (For example, 5.01x, 5.5x, etc.) I like it a lot, so it's a shame that this bug hasn't been fixed for a long time.

- (2022-07-30) George Kremenliev: mp4 meeting recording playback works just fine without the extension but the palyback is completely silent with the extension enabled (it even requires browser reload after a "disable" to play the audio again). (I am on Chrome 103 on Win11)

- (2022-05-27) Ömer GÜZEL: Thank you so much. However, I think there is a bug that voice and video is not synchronizing the option for it is not free(That is not good I think because it is a bug fix not a bonus). Also, being without shortcuts(current shortcuts are not good) are the big lackness.
