It works on regular videos, just not on shorts. It would be best if you excluded https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*

function skipAd() {
    // Check if the current URL is a YouTube Shorts URL and exit the function if true
    if (window.location.pathname.startsWith('/shorts/')) {
        return; // Do nothing for Shorts
    }
//rest of the code
}

Other than that, everything works fine. thanks!

YouTube uses a single-page app, using @exclude will not run the script when you start on a Shorts page. I have updated the code based on your code. Thanks for your contribution.

Thanks for updating that! I have been manually adding that to my code, so I appreciate you adding it to the original.

If I find more valuable changes, I will let you know.

PS -- ignore all the haters in the feedback. The negative reviews *always* are more than the good ones because the only ones who review are the complainers, and most of the people who use it without issue never review.

You're welcome! If you find any other valuable changes, feel free to contribute.

I agree. In fact, most satisfied users won't leave reviews, so negative reviews are not many.
