Script Description


1. Notification System
• A user-friendly notification system has been added to the script to provide real-time feedback.
• Types of Notifications:
• Info Notifications: Inform the user when the script initializes successfully or performs a specific action (e.g., skipping an ad).
• Error Notifications: Alerts the user if the script encounters issues, such as elements not found or features failing.
• Update Notifications: Prompts the user to update the script if a newer version is detected.

How it works:
• Notifications appear as small popups at the bottom-right of the YouTube page.
• Notifications automatically disappear after 5 seconds for a clean experience.



2. Script Health Monitoring
• A periodic check ensures that the script is working as expected:
• Verifies that ads are being detected and skipped.
• Monitors YouTube’s DOM structure to detect if the script becomes incompatible due to site updates.
• Performs health checks every 60 seconds to keep the user informed about any issues.



3. Automatic Update Detection
• The script connects to an external endpoint to simulate checking for updates.
• If a newer version of the script is available, the user is notified with an “Update Available” alert.
• Prompts users to download the latest version to maintain functionality.
• Example Notification: “A new version of the script is available. Please update!”



4. Enhanced Error Handling
• Improved error detection ensures the script captures and logs issues (e.g., if ad elements are not found or changes in the DOM occur).
• If the script detects a failure to skip ads or remove popups, it displays an Error Notification so the user knows action is needed.
• Detailed error messages are logged to the console for debugging.



5. Improved Logging
• Every action performed by the script is logged in the browser console for transparency and troubleshooting.
• Logs include:
• Successful ad skips.
• Notifications sent.
• Elements removed.
• Errors encountered during execution.



6. Ad-Skipping Enhancements
• The script skips video ads, overlay ads, and closes ad-related elements seamlessly.
• Additionally:
• Automatically mutes ads that cannot be skipped (e.g., unskippable pre-roll ads).
• Ensures smoother playback by removing visual clutter like overlay ads.



7. Resource Efficiency
• Observers (for detecting and removing ads) automatically disconnect after 5 minutes of inactivity to save browser resources.
• Notifications and health-check intervals are optimized to avoid performance issues.

Benefits of the New Features
• User Awareness: Keeps the user informed about the script’s status and any issues.
• Reliability: Monitors the script’s performance to ensure continuous functionality.
• Future Proofing: Alerts for updates help maintain compatibility with YouTube’s evolving structure.
• Resource Optimization: Ensures the script does not unnecessarily consume browser resources.
