Review Summary
Ad Accelerator is appreciated for speeding through YouTube ads, offering a less costly alternative to Premium and reducing ad watching annoyance. However, multiple users report it being detected by YouTube as an ad blocker, leading to reduced efficiency or non-functionality. Some mention the extension mistakenly speeds up actual videos, and that ads at the end aren't fully skipped. Its performance is inconsistent, sometimes requiring refreshes, and users call for updates to maintain effectiveness against YouTube's evolving ad detection.
Pros
- Effectively speeds up ads on YouTube, reducing watching time for ads.
- Generally easy to use and works well when functional.
- Provides a cost-effective alternative to paying for YouTube Premium.
- Some users report it still works despite detection attempts by YouTube.
- Reduces annoyance of ads by rushing through most of them.
Cons
- YouTube has updated its ad detection, causing the extension to often be detected as an ad blocker and stop working.
- The extension sometimes speeds up the main video unintentionally, not just ads.
- Advertisements at the end of videos still linger for several seconds without being skipped.
- Inconsistent performance—works sometimes but can stop suddenly or require refreshing.
- Needs updates to keep up with YouTube's anti-adblock measures.
