The YouTube AdBlocker is a Firefox browser extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience by minimizing interruptions from ads. Specifically, it:
Skips Skippable Ads: Automatically detects the "Skip Ad" button on YouTube video ads (e.g., the button that appears after 5 seconds). Clicks it for you as soon as itâs available, bypassing the rest of the ad. Speeds Up Unskippable Ads: For ads that canât be skipped immediately, it increases the video playback speed to 10x. This makes the ad pass by much faster (e.g., a 15-second ad takes about 1.5 seconds). Mutes the ad audio to avoid annoyance during the sped-up playback.
