YouTube Ad Auto-skipper
Extension Actions
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!

- YouTube, being greedy and all, still counts this as an "ad blocker" when I use it. Without YouTube being greedy, this would be perfect.
- Zubair Afridi
- I have to reload the page every time for it to work
- ABDULLAH AL HADI
- not working.
- Herb Sewell
- 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.

- Matt Airhart
- ### 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.
- Timothy Heermann
- 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.
- Kurd Stan
- very good and helpfull
- William Lewis
- it works, its not an add blocker like some may think but it makes it so any skippible adds will skip automaticly very nice.

- Lyrical Cotton
- 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)
