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.

This is a small app that achieves surprisingly good podcast adblocking. It transcribes the podcast, identifies ad segments in the transcript, then creates a new version of the podcast without the ads.

Hello HN, Extremely nervous and proud to show auto ad skipping for embedded ads. I was tired to pressing +30 +30 +30 -10 to skip ads. So I wrote a pipeline, and co-wrote app with my best friend Alex to make this happen. Feedback, suggestions, all welcome. If you can't afford, please reach out and happy to give free lifetime subscription.

Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…

Always been annoyed by podcast ads. Searched and found a few apps that can detect and skip them, but they were all paid. So I made a free one. To my knowledge this is the first podcast app with free ad block. iOS (26+) only for now. If the app becomes popular I'll def think of doing an Android version as well. The app doesn't require a user account. I may open-source it at some point; still thinking about it. If anyone's suspicious about how it's able to be free, i.e. doesn't it cost money to run, are you selling my data (I'm not) etc. I'm happy to explain in the comments. From a technical…
