## 🧩 How It Works

* Detects `.ad-showing` state and skips instantly
* Falls back to mute + time-jump when needed
* HUD runs independently from YouTube UI
* Fully sandboxed & safe

## 🔒 Safety & Stability

* ❌ No proxying
* ❌ No unsafe overrides
* ✅ Uses native video APIs only
* ✅ Safe against YouTube updates
