Auto Ad Skipper - Chrome Extension for Skipping YouTube Ads Automatically

Auto Ad Skipper is a simple and efficient Chrome extension that automatically presses the skip button on YouTube videos. Unlike ad blockers, this extension is specifically designed to help differently abled individuals who may have difficulty pressing the skip button themselves. It does not block ads, but rather swiftly presses the skip button as soon as it becomes available.

This extension works seamlessly in various scenarios, including full-screen mode, multiple consecutive ads, ads in the middle of long videos, videos playing as part of a playlist, and even in "picture-in-picture" mode. It is incredibly responsive, skipping ads within less than a second instead of waiting for the usual 5-second countdown.

One notable aspect of Auto Ad Skipper is its commitment to user privacy. The extension does not track or collect any user data, ensuring a safe and secure browsing experience. Additionally, the code for the extension is open source and available for download on GitHub, encouraging developer collaboration and improvement.

While the current version, V1.0.0, does not skip unskippable ads, the developer has exciting plans for future releases. These include muting the audio of the Chrome tab during unskippable ads and restoring it to the original audio levels after the ad finishes playing. There are also plans to implement a fast-forward feature for unskippable ads and to reduce the brightness to the lowest level during such ads, returning it to the original brightness afterward.

Auto Ad Skipper is a free extension that provides a simple yet valuable service for those who struggle with pressing the skip button on YouTube videos. While the developer does not accept monetary contributions, they welcome suggestions for further improvements and additional features. Contact the developer to share your ideas and help make this extension even better.
