"Skip Silence" is a browser extension that allows you to automatically skip parts of a video or audio file that are silent - without loosing any important information. Skip Silence has recently been rewritten to be more stable and run on more platforms.
Neat! One of my favorite features of Overcast Podcast player is the smartspeed feature. There's so many videos I listen to on 2x speed but skipping silence is much more important.
-I get concerned with free... is there a premium tier? Advertising model? Something I missed that lets you make money from this hard work?
-Chrome plugin, do you know if it works on any other browsers (chromium based like brave browser maybe?) If not I may need to consider coming back to chrome for this...at least for videos I have to watch.

The plugin is completely free - It is just a hobby project of mine. You can find the complete source code at https://github.com/vantezzen/ski... if you want to evaluate it.
I may add some kind of advertising model in the future, but I don't want it to annoy users or restrict the use of the extension, so I'm still looking for the right way of doing it.
> do you know if it works on any other browsers
Other Chromium-based browsers should probably work. The extension is a WebExtension so it should be compatible with most modern browsers. You can download the release files from https://github.com/vantezzen/ski... if you need them.
It is however not compatible with Firefox at the moment as Firefox can't analyse media volume while speeding up videos due to a bug.
"Skip Silence" is a browser extension that allows you to automatically skip parts of a video that are silent. It is already used and loved by over 1.000 people.
🏎 Whenever the extension detects that the video is currently silent, it will speed up the video to save you time. This can be especially useful when watching long lecture videos.
👨🏫 The important thing is: With Skip Silence you won't miss any of the important information!
3️⃣ Skip Silence 3 has been completely rewritten with React and TypeScript to be more robust, performant, compatible with more websites and to be better extensible for future features.
🕸 The extension is compatible with most website that use normal HTML video or audio tags (e.g. YouTube)
🖥 The extension can be installed on chrome and chromium browsers. Unfortunately, there is currently a bug in Firefox that prevents the extension from working there - sorry Firefox users! Let's hope Mozilla fixes this in the future.
⭐️ Not convinced yet? Here are some of the reviews on the Chrome Webstore:
"It is like magic." - Pedro
"Finally somebody wrote this extension! Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you :)" - Niko
"Why did I have to find this AFTER a term of online classes??? This is absolutely brilliant" - William
"One of the best extensions in the world" - Motoko
