Review Summary

Users find Ad Skipper generally effective at skipping YouTube ads and improving viewing experience across various browsers. Many praise its fast performance and usability. However, multiple reviews report that YouTube's evolving anti-ad-block measures often detect and disable the extension, causing freezes or endless ad screens. Some note the need to manually click skip buttons and slight video delays after ads. Overall, while successful most of the time, the extension faces challenges keeping pace with YouTube's ad system updates.

Pros

  • Effectively skips or fast-forwards YouTube ads, improving user experience.
  • Works well on multiple browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Opera.
  • Blocks YouTube Shorts and other unwanted content.
  • Reliable and easy to use compared to other ad blockers.
  • Generally quick at resuming videos after skipping ads.

Cons

  • YouTube detects the extension frequently, causing it to stop working or freeze videos.
  • Sometimes the extension cannot automatically click the skip button, requiring manual intervention.
  • A slight delay or hesitation occurs before the video resumes after an ad is skipped.
  • Newer YouTube ad systems sometimes bypass the extension, leading to continuous ad blocker detection loops.
  • Limited functionality on YouTube as some controls like site selection sliders can be locked and uncontrollable.
