Image from store YouTube Ad Auto-skipper

Description from store 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!

(2025-06-12) 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.

(2025-04-20) Fernando Broca: OMGGG! That's so useful!!! But can you make it work for YT music too?
(2025-04-15) 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.
(2025-04-09) 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.
(2025-03-05) Kurd Stan: very good and helpfull
(2025-02-26) 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.
(2025-02-25) MadeInUSA Review0: Still works
(2025-02-08) Average Internet User: Still Works - (08/02/2025)👍
(2025-01-13) 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)

(2024-09-30) Ishtiaqe Hanif: Not working.
(2024-09-26) Chris NoLastName: EDIT: Stopped working. YT made a change. It does what it says, it automatically clicks skip on YouTube ads once skip is available. Keep in mind for it to start working it must be installed and chrome must be restarted. I don't mind YT ads but I hate it when ads are more than 30 seconds long. This extension auto skips when the skip button pops up.
(2024-09-24) Rexyislive: Works well most of the time. Had times where it didnt skip
(2024-09-20) John C: still doesnt work
