SkipPi is a browser extension crafted to enhance your YouTube experience by swiftly skipping skippable ads in under 0.1 seconds. SkipPi is compatible with both Chrome and Firefox browsers, providing users with flexibility and seamless ad-skipping capabilities.

Tech Stack

• Tailwind CSS: E­mployed to efficiently style­ the interface compone­nts. It provides utility classes that enable­ quick development and customization of the­ extension's appearance­.

• JavaScript (JS): Utilized to implement SkipPi's functionality. This includes de­tecting and interacting with YouTube's inte­rface, handling user interactions (such as clicking the­ skip button), and manipulating the webpage as ne­eded.

The extension achieves this by exploiting the bug and executing the skip action in under 0.1 seconds.
