Skipper Beta Extension

What is Skipper?

Skipper is a free, open-source browser extension that helps users easily skip ads on websites like YouTube. It's designed with accessibility in mind, making it perfect for people with disabilities who may struggle with repetitive manual tasks. Unlike ad-blockers, Skipper doesn't harm creators, platforms, or advertisers, and it's not intended to block ads.

Why choose Skipper?

If interacting with \"skip\" buttons is challenging due to a disability, you enjoy multitasking with YouTube in the background, or forced waiting times on ads annoy you, Skipper is a perfect choice.

Supports creators

Skipper doesn't take away ad revenue from creators or violate YouTube's terms of service. Instead, it uses your browser's built-in features to interact with websites just like a regular user, ensuring no harm to website owners, advertisers, or creators.

Always free and open-source

Some extensions charge money or trick you into downloading before asking for payment. With Skipper, you won't have to worry about that. It's always free, open-source, and committed to user safety.

Reliable and well-supported

Skipper is built with reliability in mind and was tested for over 100 hours before its public release. Our dedicated team of beta testers uses Skipper daily and continually improves it based on user feedback.

Simple and easy to use

Skipper is designed around simplicity. There's no setup required, it will never impact the speed of your computer, it's only allowed to run on supported websites and it doesn't require any additional downloads or configuration.
