Sorry I have to make this post for part 3 but it seems that the admin didn't know what I mean. I was saying how I can hit the skip add button
I need to know if there is a way to hit the button skip ads on youtube if it pops up in a webviewer.
Don't end this topic once it has been answered because I have more questions to answer
Do you mean programmatically ? If so, this is unlikely, unless by scraping the web page you find the exact element id and can "click()" it.
Also, from your topic title, which extension ?
Sorry about that I was just seeing if there was a extension that could help me but it seems not.
Could we do like the entire website of Youtube
What do you mean by this ?
I mean like all the videos youtube provides even upcoming ones
So what I understand is, you are trying to create a YouTube clone but of course without showing ads ..
Read the YouTube terms of service if this is allowed. Spoiler: obviously it is not.
Also read again this
And be as clear as possible what you want to do to avoid your thread being closed again because of illegal activities

I now asked Gemini the following question.
Is it allowed to create a YouTube clone? Which means to copy links to videos and show them without ads?
Here is the answer
Creating a YouTube "clone" raises significant legal and ethical concerns, particularly regarding copyright and terms of service. Here's a breakdown:
Copyright Infringement:
- Content Ownership:
- YouTube hosts vast amounts of copyrighted material. Simply copying links and displaying videos without permission infringes on the copyright holder's rights.
- This includes the videos themselves, as well as any music, images, or other copyrighted elements within them.
- Unauthorized Distribution:
- Redistributing copyrighted content, even by embedding or linking, can be considered infringement if you don't have the necessary licenses.
Terms of Service:
- YouTube's Restrictions:
- YouTube's terms of service prohibit unauthorized access to and redistribution of its content. Creating a clone that circumvents these terms could lead to legal action from YouTube.
- Ad Circumvention:
- Removing ads from YouTube videos directly impacts the revenue of content creators and YouTube itself. This is a violation of their business model and potentially their terms of service.
Key Considerations:
- "Fair Use" Limitations:
- While "fair use" allows limited use of copyrighted material for purposes like criticism, commentary, or education, simply replicating a video platform likely falls outside these boundaries.
- Impersonation:
- Closely mimicking YouTube's branding and design could lead to accusations of impersonation, which is also legally problematic.
In summary:
- Creating a direct YouTube clone that copies and displays videos without proper authorization is highly likely to infringe on copyright and violate YouTube's terms of service.
- Removing ads from those videos, adds to the legal issues.
Therefore, it is strongly advised to avoid creating such a clone.

I know what you are saying but that isn't the point
On youtube if the skip ad button pops up I hit skip to be able to skip some ad time.
That's what I want it to do just like on youtube
What you are talking about is me is not to see a single ad on youtube
Are you saying you cannot press the Skip button when it pops up ?
yes, just press that button manually as you are doing it
to press it programmatically would be against the rules

That's exactly what I am saying
I did have a go at running youtube in a webviewer last night, but it wouldn't show me an ad / that offered the SKIP button.
My webviewer showed me a skip button but I couldn't hit the button so I had to wait until the ad was over
