## 🧩 How It Works

* Uses **DOM-level detection**, not network interception
* Detects `.ad-showing` state and skips instantly
* Falls back to mute + time-jump when needed
* HUD runs independently from YouTube UI
* Fully sandboxed & safe

---

## 🔒 Safety & Stability

* ❌ No request blocking
* ❌ No proxying
* ❌ No unsafe overrides
* ✅ Uses native video APIs only
* ✅ Safe against YouTube updates

---

## 🛣 Roadmap

* Timeline animation editor
* Cloud-synced profiles
* OBS / PiP enhancements
* Auto-update module

---
