If you already had some YouTube page open before the extension was installed, a page refresh might be needed.
Without the extension:
Before or during the playback of the YouTube video, video ads can be shown. These ads can be closed with the Skip Ad or Skip Ads buttons that are displayed after 5 seconds. And so, you not only need to step in, but also wait for the buttons to appear. A different kind of ads can be video overlay ads that can be closed with the X button, or column ads that cannot be closed.
With the extension:
Skip Ad will look for the Skip Ad or Skip Ads buttons, and click them automatically to close the video ads for you. Although the buttons are displayed after 5 seconds, they are already prepared and extension can click them to close the ads quickly. Video overlay ads, and column ads, will be hidden.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
