Click on "Editor", then "File", and finally "Save". After refreshing YouTube, you will notice that 5-second countdown ads will be automatically skipped. This method can avoid YouTube detection and replaces manual clicking to skip ads, without having to wait for 5 seconds. It may not work for other types of ads.
