Ad Accelerator
Mute and fast-forward YouTube ads instead of blocking them
Ad Accelerator is a free, open-source Chrome extension that takes a different approach to the ad problem. Instead of blocking ads (which kills creator revenue), it mutes the audio and speeds up playback to 16x. A 30-second unskippable ad becomes a 2-second blip. The ad impression still counts, so creators get paid. No network interception, no arms race with YouTube. Manifest V3, MIT licensed.
