This is a basic Chrome extension designed to automatically skip ads on YouTube.
This project was created for learning purposes to explore Chrome extension development, including:
- Working with the Chrome extension API
- Using background scripts and content scripts
- Managing state with
chrome.storage
This extension is not intended to violate YouTube's guidelines or terms of service. It is purely a learning project to understand how Chrome extensions can interact with web pages.
Current Status: As of now, this extension is no longer functional due to changes in YouTube's ad system or Chrome's extension policies. This project is experimental and for educational purposes only and will not receive updates or maintenance to address these issues.
