Skip intros, recaps and credits automatically

Auto-skip clicks the skip button for you when Netflix, Prime Video or YouTube shows one. The skip switches are off until you turn them on, and all of them need a sign-in. Account and sync covers what sign-in adds.

What it clicks

Site	What it clicks
Netflix and Prime Video	The skip button for an intro, the skip button for a recap, and the "Next Episode" prompt over the end credits
YouTube	The "Skip Ad" button, and the next video on the end screen

It clicks the buttons the site shows. If the site shows no button, there is nothing to click.

Turn it on

1. Open Settings and go to the Advanced tab.
2. Find Playback Features.
3. Turn on the ones you want.

Set the delay

Skip Delay is how long the extension waits after the button appears, and 2 seconds is the longest.

Instant (0ms)	Skips with no wait

Normal (500ms)	Waits 500ms. This is the default.
