Once "installed", this bookmarklet can be used to immediately skip any YouTube ads with a 5-second countdown. To enable/start the ad skipper in a tab, just click the button in the bookmark bar. Once enabled in a tab, it will continue to run in that tab until the page is reloaded or the tab is closed.
