About

Automatically mutes YouTube video ads and clicks the Skip button the moment it appears. When your video resumes, the volume is restored to exactly where it was.

Features:

How it works:
This extension monitors the YouTube player for ads. When an ad starts playing, it mutes all audio immediately so you never hear the ad. It continuously looks for the Skip button and clicks it the instant it becomes available. For unskippable ads, it fast-forwards the ad video to end it as quickly as possible. Once the ad is over and your video resumes, your volume is automatically restored.

- No data collection whatsoever
- No analytics or tracking
- No external server connections
- Works entirely locally in your browser
