AdSkip für YouTube von Wesley

✅ Skip YouTube video ads automatically — no more clicking "Skip".

AdSkip for YouTube quietly detects and skips the ads that interrupt your videos, so you can keep watching without lifting a finger.

WHY THIS ONE?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• 🪶 Lightweight — does one thing well. No heavy filter lists, no slowdown.
• 🔓 Fully open source — every line is on GitHub. Read it, audit it, fork it.
• 🛡 Zero data collection — verified by Firefox. No account. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing leaves your browser.
• 🎯 Focused — just YouTube video ads. That's the whole job.
• 🌍 Works in your language — English, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese.

HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The extension watches only youtube.com and automatically skips or hides video ads the moment they appear. A tiny counter shows how many ads it has skipped for you. Toggle it on or off anytime from the toolbar popup.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HONEST NOTE (please read)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

YouTube changes how it serves ads often, and sometimes a change will temporarily break ad-skipping until this extension is updated. When that happens, I fix it as fast as I can — usually within a few days. This is a free, one-person open-source project, and I'd rather be upfront than over-promise. If skipping stops working, please open a GitHub issue instead of leaving a 1-star review — it helps me fix it faster for everyone. 🙏

PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This extension collects and transmits NO data whatsoever. Counters and settings live only in your own browser. No servers, no telemetry, no exceptions.
