YouTube Skip Silence by Timothy

Automatically skip silent parts of YouTube videos, saving you time without losing context.

🔇 SKIP THE SILENCE ON YOUTUBE

YouTube Skip Silence is a simple, lightweight browser extension that automatically detects and skips silent segments in YouTube videos.

Stop wasting time waiting for the speaker to start talking! Our extension analyzes the timestamps of a video's auto-generated captions to instantly find and jump over dead air.

✨ KEY FEATURES

• Automatic Silence Skip: Instantly jump past sections of a video with no detected speech.
• Customizable Skipping: Fine-tune the behavior to suit your viewing style:
  • Post-Speech Delay: Adds a short, natural pause after a line of speech before initiating a skip.
  • Pre-Speech Offset: Configures the skip to land a moment before the next line of speech, preventing abrupt audio cuts.
• Minimalist Interface: Quickly enable/disable the feature and control minimum skip duration from a simple popup menu.

💡 HOW IT WORKS

The extension works entirely client-side (in your browser) by listening for the video's subtitle data. It does not analyze audio or require any external servers. This makes it fast and private.
