Review Summary
Users appreciate that the extension speeds up and mutes YouTube ads effectively, making watching less annoying without blocking ads outright. Most recommend limiting speed to 2x or 3x to avoid detection by YouTube. However, many report YouTube warnings when using higher speeds or auto-skip features. Some experience the whole video playing at accelerated speeds after ads, and the auto-skip function often fails or triggers detection. The extension’s reliability is decreasing, with reports of it breaking completely for some users by 2024. Overall, it remains a helpful tool if used cautiously.
Pros
- Effectively speeds up YouTube ads, reducing viewer irritation.
- Mute function works well, allowing ads to be silenced.
- Generally avoids detection when using 2x or 3x speed, keeping warnings at bay.
- Simple alternative to ad blocker, causing less guilt as ads aren't blocked, just sped up.
- Helpful and appreciated as a practical solution for dealing with ads.
Cons
- YouTube increasingly detects the extension when using speeds higher than 3x or when auto-skip is enabled, resulting in warnings.
- Sometimes the entire video plays at increased speed after ads, requiring manual intervention to fix.
- Auto skip feature often stops working or triggers detection, leading users to disable it and rely only on speed/mute.
- The extension stopped working altogether for some users as of late 2024.
- Occasional issues on different browsers (e.g., Edge) causing unwanted behavior with speed or mute settings affecting the main video.
