- Rated 5 out of 5by chriszis, a year 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, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by strings, a year 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 a year 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, a year agoworks great to speed up the ads but does not hit the skip button for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by 204504bySE, a year agoこのアドオンを機能させるには、YouTubeを開いた状態でアドオンボタン(ウィンドウ右上のパズルピースのアイコン)をクリックし、このアドオンにアクセス許可を与える必要があります。
For this add-on to work, you must grant permissions it in Add-ons menu (puzzle piece icon at the top right corner of the window) while YouTube is open. - Rated 5 out of 5by rubix, a year ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by irripod , a year agoI don't mean to be nasty, so I gave three stars, but in fact I found the add-on useless and uninstalled it after ten minutes. With uBlockOrigin installed, all I need to do on YouTube is a page refresh for the adblock warning to go away and the video to play. This is still less of a hassle than having to step through a number of ads, however fast. And this add-on doesn't affect the static ads under the player window in any way, which I find intolerable.

posted a year agoFirst thing I mentioned in the description of this addon is the link to your Chrome extension and your email as the author. I never said it was made 100% by me. I just converted it to work for Firefox, otherwise it doesn't work to add it manually to my browser addons without being published here and signed by Mozilla.
