    Just installed it. Works like a charm automuting youtube ads. Very handy when I want to let the ads role to support the creator.

    Work find on youtube.com, but when trying to use it on music.youtube.com it does not work. This behaviour seems to be intended though.

    Works as advertised, no noticeable performance impact or unwanted side effects.

    great addon! especially because recently youtube started cracking down on on adBLOCKERS, wonderful alternative to stop loud youtube ads from interrupting music sessions

    Great addon works perfectly for me (FF on macOS). Consistently mutes all pre-video and interrupting ads, and unmutes afterwards. Practically no delays bar the occasional single word. YouTube is no longer a infuriatingly invasive corporate experience (long as you don't mind watching the hapless actors soundlessly selling their dignity for a few seconds). Many thanks to the developer 🙏

    Also, I'm a coder though not a massive security expert, but have scanned the source code and found nothing that looks suspicious. This seems safe, but given the small user base I'm going to disable auto-updates and manually inspect any updated source code only if/when the addon breaks. You might want to do likewise.

    An app that Youtube is not angry about.
    One star deduction if the timer of the advertisement is at 0, then the advertisement must be skipped independently.

    Hi and thanks for the review. You might want to try out my new "ASS YouTube ads" add-on in combination with this one. The ASS stands for "Automatically skip skippable".

    Very nice solution for loud ads interrupting your video of interest.

    Only this:
    1. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mute-youtube-ads/.
    2. Right click and "View Source", search for ".xpi".
    3. Right click the .xpi link and "Save as" .zip.
    4. Extract the saved .zip (the source is all there).
