Youtube Autoclose Ads
Youtube Autoclose Ads is a free Chrome extension developed by Gabriel Duarte. This handy tool automatically closes ads on YouTube videos after a specified number of seconds, with a default setting of 5 seconds. Users have the option to customize the time duration in the extension's settings page (chrome://extensions).
One might wonder why not simply use a traditional ad-blocker. Unlike ad-blockers that completely remove all ads on YouTube, Youtube Autoclose Ads allows users to set a minimum display time for ads. After the specified time has elapsed, the extension automatically closes the ad, ensuring that content creators can still monetize their videos. This feature strikes a balance between ad removal and supporting content creators, making it a valuable tool for YouTube users.
