About YouTube Ad Accelerator & Easy Speed Drag
✅ YouTube Ads will be accelerated & skipped automatically
------------------------------
PLEASE READ IN REGARDS TO AD-SKIPPING:
This extension can still skip video ads, even after YouTube's recent update (May 2025).
Since the ads aren't technically "blocked", it bypasses most of YouTube's Anti-Ad-Block measures.
But YouTube is always trying new things. If the extension runs into an ad that it cannot auto-skip, it will make the "Skip" button the size of the entire video for you, making it super easy to click.

YouTube Speed Controls:
------
⏩ Click and hold anywhere on a video to play at 2x speed while the click is held down
➡️ Drag right for faster speeds
⬅️ Drag left for slower speeds
🔼 Release the click to return to normal speed
⬇️ Or, drag down before releasing to continue watching at that speed
YouTube AdBlock Features:
------
⚡Auto Ad Speed-Up - YouTube ads are fast-forwarded at 16x speed
👇 Auto Ad Skip - The skip button is pressed the second it appears to skip the ad as soon as possible
🙈 Disappearing Ads - In total, YouTube ads are skipped and disappear in less than half a second
🚫 Not Actually Ad-Block - since this doesn't technically block the ads, YouTube still thinks you are watching them, which gets around many of YouTube's anti-Ad Block features
YouTube Speed Control Features:
------
⏭️ Skim Over The Boring Stuff - Quickly skim over boring or sponsored content
👌 Set The Perfect Speed - By far the easiest way to change speed settings on YouTube
🎛️ Customize To Your Tastes - Set custom speed levels you prefer in the menu, anywhere from 0.1x to 16x (full range that YouTube supports for speed control)
🧠 Incredibly Intuitive - Works exactly how you expect it to work
🥷 Never In Your Way - Adds speed control features but does not interfere with any native YouTube features
Hotkeys For YouTube Speed Control :
------
🔬 Micro Speed Adjustments - Tap comma or period to adjust the speed up or down by 5%
👇 Hold - Hold down either hotkey to play at the custom speed you selected in the settings
⏩ Double - Tap-hold to play at twice the custom video speed you selected in the settings (so if you've selected 5x speed, double-tap-hold will play the video at 10x)
What Else?
