work - Rated 4 out of 5by Ivan, 2 years agoLATEST REVIEW: It's back to working fine since the update from 11 June 2023.
Old Review: I used to enjoy this for what it is, so it brings me no pleasure to give this low rating as the extension has not been working for the past few days. This appears to be related to Youtube changing how their website works, but until any update to make this functional again I thought it'd be appropriate to warn others of my experience.
Old Update: It's only working in private windows but not public for unknown reasons. - Rated 4 out of 5by TigerNightmare, 4 years agoThis does what it promises to do, which is good. It's useful for long videos of musical performances where I just want to lie down and not have to stand up or wait for longer ads to end.
Unfortunately, contrary to what people think, autoskipping ads has the same effect as blocking all ads, depriving creators of their well-deserved revenue. According to what I read, ads 30 seconds or under need to play in their entirety, and longer ads need to play at least 30 seconds, with more money given out if more of the ad is watched.
I wish this had additional options, such as only autoskipping after 30 seconds, blacklisting ads with certain IDs or URLs (like PragerU, screw those guys) and entire channels we do not want to support but need to watch for whatever reason, popunder and autoclose banner ads, whatever we can do to balance ad revenue with ad watch time. I get that it might be a lot to ask for, but until there is a solution, I can't in good conscience take money away from people who work hard to provide entertainment and community.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThank you for your review. I have been hearing this feedback and I have wanted to add those functionalities but it just has been a very busy time for me recently. I am planning to take some time and work on the extension to build these functionalities in the upcoming weeks. I hope you'll like the additions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13658695, 7 years agoGreat extension. It would be even better if it had the option to mute ads automatically too.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13440014, 7 years agoI would really like to be able to modify the time it takes before it skips the video. I have an adblock, so I would like to be able to modify the skipping time to 31 seconds, so I can support the channels in my white-list. Otherwise,it works just as advertised.

posted 7 years agoThat's an interesting feature. I will definitely implement that. - Rated 4 out of 5by anush shrestha, 8 years agoworks fine for its intended task.
but, settings option would be helpful as i cannot know if it is running or not.
