Greasy Fork

1. Reliable Ad Skipper:
• Detects both skippable video ads and overlay ads.
• Uses MutationObserver to track changes in the DOM for quick ad detection.
2. Self-Updating Mechanism:
• Fetches the latest script from a specified URL (e.g., GitHub or GreasyFork).
• Compares the current version with the fetched version.
• Prompts the user to reload the page when a new version is available.
3. Unlock Videos:
• Automatically modifies YouTube API responses to bypass age restrictions.
• Unlocks videos by altering the playabilityStatus to OK.
4. Performance Optimization:
• Observers are lightweight and scoped to relevant DOM changes.
• Update checks occur only once per 24 hours to avoid unnecessary requests.
5. Improved Notifications:
• Uses GM_notification for better integration with userscripts.
6. Future-Proof Design:
• Centralized configuration for easy updates.
• Modular functions allow easy adaptation to new YouTube updates.
