  description

  Skip Wait bypasses countdown timers and waiting pages on link shorteners, safelinks, and file hosts so you get the final URL or download with no delay. Skip countdown and bypass wait timers on short links and file hosts without an account, setup, or paywall. The extension runs only on supported pages; the rest of your browsing is unchanged.
  
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  OVERVIEW
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Skip Wait removes mandatory wait times on supported sites. You either get an instant redirect to the destination or a one-click way to skip the timer. It works on short links with wait timers, safelink and redirect pages, file hosts that use countdowns, and pages that unlock after a delay. Unsupported pages are never modified.
