Feature suggestion: Max ad length toggle #29

Closed DShip91 closed 3 years ago

There should be a way to set it so that ads above a certain length are automatically blocked.

Hey @DShip91 Apologies for the late reply and thank you for your interest.

This is an existing feature under Settings > Ads > Automatically skip ads, check out your ad settings and give it a try. Once you enable it, a dropdown appears where you can currently toggle between 5, 15, 30 seconds. I highly recommend 30 to maximize the odds that your favorite creator will actually receive ad revenue.

Feel free to close the report if this fits your needs however I'm open to suggestions on improving the feature or making it more obvious, so let me know. I've considered showing the dropdown but disabling it until the setting is enabled.

Thanks

Hey there. I think there should be an additional 60-second toggle added to the Automatically skip ads feature.

Thank you again for your suggestion! I added a 1m and 2m option, also added some warnings for 5s and 15s letting the user know that those options could deprive channels of revenue.

The changes should be available on Mozilla Addons (Chrome takes a bit longer) in v0.13.10.

Once your extensions are updated, you can try it here. Feel free to let me know of any bugs/issues
