I made a free extension that auto-skips video ads, speeds up playback, and tracks time saved. No data collection.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Flow Optimizer.

I got tired of constantly clicking "Skip" and waiting for slow content, so I built a lightweight extension to handle it automatically. It’s designed to be a productivity tool that keeps you in the "flow."

Key Features:

• Auto-Skip & Speed Up: Automatically clicks skip buttons and speeds up ads/interruptions (up to 16x) so you barely notice them.
• Productivity First: Includes a focus mode to hide distracting sidebars/comments.
• Privacy Focused: No data collection, everything runs locally on your device.
• Time Saved Tracker: A dashboard that shows exactly how much time you've saved.

It's completely free and I'm looking for feedback from the community to make it better.

You can check it out here:
