- Rated 2 out of 5by trudo, 2 months agoIt played the ad at 16x speed and muted it correctly but then it started doing the same to the actual video so the video itself was at 16x speed and muted. This only happens sometimes to the video, not every time.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13833524, 3 months agoWorks well as of March 2024. YouTube keep changing the software so I hope this continues to work. Thanks to the developer who ported this, well done.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kaltrix, 4 months agoReally enjoy this add on here an on chrome, one note i do have is i wish it would automatically change my resolution to 144p during ads as my Auto res option (default) will often attempt to play ads at 1440 or even 4k, which with my shitty internet results in a delay in the ad loading and passing the 5 second skip barrier, otherwise great stuff

- Rated 5 out of 5by chriszis, 5 months agoYes, it's not the same person who made the chrome ad speedup, but if you read litteraly the first paragraph it says ADD-ON PORTED FROM: link, AUTHOR EMAIL: email, giving creadit to the original author
It has "This add-on in not actively monotored..." label because "Extensions that are not regularly reviewed by Mozilla staff will display this caution on AMO". Click "Learn more" on the mozilla's message to read about it. It only has 7k users, Mozilla aren't going to employ people to cheack this add-on all the time. Yes, it is a warning, but it's not a sign that it deffinetly has malware
Lastly, it doesn't work IF you don't read the second paragraph where it says how to make it do its job

In terms of features, I'm more than happy with the add-on, thank you, DincaAlin :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Sotiris Panagiotidis, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by strings, 5 months agoI think this is just an ad blocker with some malware in it. It gets detected as an ad blocker by YT and is NOT made by the same guy who made an exception that does the same thing in chrome.
Edit:1
Mozilla "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing." this is at the top of the page 😑 and where's the zip on the page.
Edit:2
The ZIP File link only shows up on the page for me if I open the page in a browser other then Firefox. It looks clean but I'm not the best at reading JS.Developer response
posted 5 months agoThe same guy who made the extension for Chrome did not want to make it for Firefox. If you download the zip file of this extension, you can literally open the script and see the code for yourself. It's only 25 lines of code that get the video player in a YouTube page and sets the speed to x16 of the ad.
Stop lying about it having malware, ALL extensions are manually checked by Mozilla before being allowed to be published.
edit 1:
if you go to about:addons, click on gear icon and choose "install add-on from file" and choose any add-on in it's archive form, it says "this add-on cannot be installed because it has not been verified". So I had to publish the extension in order to use it fro myself, my initial intention was not to make it public, just to make it work for myself, which apparently requires me to publish it first and for it to get approved. You can try for yourself to install an add-on in archive form, get the same result, then try to publish it here and wait a few days for Mozilla to approve it.
edit 2:
I don't know JS, but I have knowledge about other programming languages, to me the code is super simple and works pretty straight-forward. In the extension are only a few files, the script and some icons, so I don't know what would you consider malware. - Rated 3 out of 5by Catastrophe, 5 months agoworks great to speed up the ads but does not hit the skip button for me.

posted 5 months agoPlease make sure to click on the extensions icon in the top right (puzzle piece icon) when you are on a youtube page, then right click on this extension there and choose "Always allow on www.youtube.com" and then just refresh the youtube page and it will work for any youtube video - Rated 5 out of 5by ExitooAT, 5 months agoFunktioniert echt gut mit dem beschleunigen der Werbung. Kann man nur weiter empfehlen.
