Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link.
