# King Crimson: YouTube Ad Skip for Android

Instantly fast forward YouTube ads when using the browser

![](https://github.com/sanjacob/KingCrimson/assets/52013991/9d88f780-3b92-4b33-8201-f38dbc47d824)

## Why?

Some rather niche use cases where most third party ads are already blocked by a DNS or Pi-Hole, but YouTube ads due to their nature aren't.

## How?

By analysing media notifications and detecting those that correspond to YouTube ads, then simply skipping them.

You will need to provide the notification access permission for this.

## Caveats

This is still quite new, and probably won't block 100% of ads for everyone.
