Review Summary
This Chrome extension was greatly appreciated for automatically skipping YouTube ads, providing a better viewing experience with frequent updates. However, many users report it stopped working since mid-2024 due to YouTube detecting the extension as an ad blocker. Users are frustrated by the lack of timely updates and say the extension no longer skips ads. Some mention possible payment requests and detection issues. Overall, while it was highly rated before, recent changes in YouTube's system have rendered it ineffective for many.
