A browser extension that automates skipping ad on Youtube. This is not an ad blocker, it just automates the process of clicking on the "Skip Ad" button on Youtube.

YouTube detects skip and pops up the "adblock" UI #74

Title describes issue, when an auto-skip happens YouTube "allows" the skip but blocks the video from playing.

We can add a integer/float field in the extension configuration. So this can be used as a random time interval plus 5 seconds before skipping to "trick" adblock detection

Can confirm. Started +- 2 days ago and now the player gets disabled after every ad. Also about a week before that the skip started to be inconsistent.
