User reviews
Users praise the Hulu Ad Skipper for saving time by effectively skipping ads and enhancing viewing experience. However, multiple reports highlight recent issues where the extension fails to auto-skip ads, leading to muted or full ads playing. Playback problems such as freezing during ads, subtitle sync loss, and occasional need to refresh or reinstall have frustrated users. Despite these setbacks, many remain hopeful for updates to restore reliability given its previous usefulness in minimizing Hulu ad interruptions.

After around a week of remembering this extension existed, (used to use it back in middle school), i have saved so much time it's insane. My episodes go from like 50 minutes to their true times of 40 minutes because of this ad skipper. I love it and will let you know if errors occur in future. If no update, then its working.

It was skipping fine for a few days but now it just mutes the ads and they play at regular speed. Hope this gets resolved soon.
