Browser extension that automatically skips ads on Netflix.

🇫🇷 Français  |  🇪🇸 Español  |  🇨🇳 中文

Skipix is a lightweight browser extension that detects Netflix ads and skips them automatically, tracking how much time you save in the process.

When an ad is detected on Netflix, Skipix:

1. Spots the ad by looking for a specific Netflix DOM element (span[class*="mmvz9h"])
2. Ramps the playback speed up to 8× (or 3× on Edge) to fast-forward through it
3. Mutes the video so no audio plays during the ad
4. Restores normal playback as soon as the ad ends
5. Logs the skipped time and segment count to your local statistics
