About Skipper — Skip Video Ads
Skipper helps you get back to your show faster by automatically skipping or fast-forwarding advertisements on supported streaming sites.
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
• Hotstar — skips ad video segments automatically
• Amazon Prime Video — skips and fast-forwards Prime ads
• YouTube — skips platform ads and fast-forwards creator promo segments
HOW IT WORKS
Skipper runs only on the sites above. When you watch a video, it detects ad playback and either jumps past the ad or speeds through it. You stay in control with simple on/off toggles in the toolbar popup.
YOUTUBE CREATOR PROMOS
On YouTube watch pages, Skipper can analyze publicly available captions to find sponsored segments and fast-forward through them. Detected promo time ranges appear in the popup so you know what was skipped.
PRIVACY
• No account required
• Settings stored in your browser
• YouTube caption analysis uses a backend service only for promo detection — see our privacy policy for details
SETTINGS
Open the Skipper icon in your toolbar to:
• See which platform is active on the current tab
• Toggle Prime Video ad skipping
• Toggle YouTube platform ads and creator promos
• Open full settings
Skipper is built for viewers who want a cleaner, uninterrupted streaming experience on the platforms they already use.
