YouTube Ad Auto-skipper
YouTube Ad Skipper 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 (or a playlist), 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 (or you are AFK), 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 (or not skip) for channels you want to support, or skip them entirely for some.
=====================================
‣ Version 2.2.0 fixes the extension breaking from recent Youtube UI update.
=====================================
‣ Version 2.1.0 fixes the extension breaking from recent Youtube update.
=====================================
‣ Version 2.0.2 fixes the extension breaking for some users due to recent update to YouTube.
========= New in version 2.0 =============
‣ Ability to stop countdown to skip ad.
Some ads just grip you and you want to watch it till the end. Now you'll see a countdown before the ad is skipped and a button to end the countdown.
========= New in version 1.0 =============
Ad Skipper now has so much more to offer:
‣ You can now set how long to play the ad before skipping (as fast as 0 seconds).
‣ Mute ads automatically
Unlock these features with a support of just 3 cups of coffee a year (USD $7/yr).
The original core feature is and will always remain FREE!

started from yesterday, youtube detects this and calls this and 'ad blocker' altho it is not, and says to remove it to use the yt, and does not allow videos to be played unless i've closed it. if anyone knows any other extension that doesnt block the youtube ads, but just click the skip button when the yt ad skip button shows, let me know the name, ty in advance
First time I down loaded, it didnt work. I did it a second time and working like advertised.
doesnt work
works well, love it
Works most of the time. Sometimes it takes a couple of seconds to respond to the skip-ad button when it shows up.
probably saved years of my time. works perfect i don't understand why it only has 4/5 stars.
works amazing, great addon
Works great, recommended
So far so good! Thank you!
It provides great comfort. Amazing
I think it stopped working two days ago. It's a great tool, I hope it improves!
This is great, it's basically an auto clicker - So works well if you're making dinner listening to some tube :) Thx homie!
Installed, refreshed the page and it worked instantly
It's actually really good, it just didn't work at first but after a few minutes it started working.
The only one that works
YouTube, being greedy and all, still counts this as an "ad blocker" when I use it. Without YouTube being greedy, this would be perfect.
I have to reload the page every time for it to work
not working.
No button appears next to subscribe button, so it does not work. It's possible only the subscription version works, but the "original functionality," said to be free always, does not work.
Took a chance with the subscription. Very pleased so far.
working as described ;)
asks for donate money in order to use it against annoying ads on youtube
Works as advertised
0 star donate for u
perfect, even the free version. Thanks!
Thanks for the great plugin!
It works flawlessly. Keep it up.
I love you.
Works perfectly
it work 👍🏻
OMGGG! That's so useful!!! But can you make it work for YT music too?
### THIS IS NOT AN AD BLOCKER ### Works perfectly, and does exactly what it says! READ THE DESCRIPTION! I want to still support my favorite creators, but also do not care for ads. This is the perfect middle-ground.
Paid for the annual payment, got no notification saying when the subscription would renew, when I scrolled down to the extension's 'cancel future payments' it just went to log into my google account and refreshed the page as if nothing happened. Will definitely alert my bank to any future charge attempts by this extension if any future charges occur.
very good and helpfull
it works, its not an add blocker like some may think but it makes it so any skippible adds will skip automaticly very nice.
Still works
Still Works - (08/02/2025)👍
Says *exatly* what the name implioes, although no, it does NOT *BLOCK* youtube ad, it will make it less of a hassle when you have to always go back to whatever youtube video you have in in the background to click "Skip ad". No, Not and ad-blocker, just an ad-skipper. I'm not sure if this works on chromebooks however, sicnet heyre known for also not being compatible with other chrome extentions, and ect, but I use windows / chrome and it works just fine, im sure you just gotta make sure it's activated first. (thats doen by checking on extentions and making sure it's available)
does not do what it's name says
Not even the basic feature's working
works as intended, It has improved my viewing experience a lot!
no shortage of these garbage extensions that don't work.
working as intended
love this extension more than actual ad blockers tbh
Working well with Version 2.2.0, make sure to update the extension
worked for a while but stopped working nowadays, no ideal why tho
tks for the update
had read you response about the update UI, but can your update the auto click from 5s to event change of the button skip ads
Have been using for year and sincerely appreciate this developer's time, effort, and patience. Always up to date. Excellent.
It's annoying that it doesn't work every time Chrome is updated.
