Skip Silence is an open source extension, available for desktop web browsers such as Chrome and Chromium derivatives, as well as for Firefox from the Mozilla Foundation, which tries to speed up the playback of portions of Internet audio or video on-demand streams where there is a certain level of silence.

With this, the idea seeks reduce the consumption time of content transmitted over the Internet by “skipping” the “silent” partsalthough as we say, these parts do not have to be completely silent.

And we are referring to possible moments such as waiting for a teacher to appear to teach in an educational video, possible private conversations where people speak too softly and are not understood in a publicly held video, among other impractical moments that It’s actually a waste of time.

Saving time on transmissions with periods of silence

In this way, the consumption of on-demand content transmissions over the Internet becomes more agileavoiding these and other moments that may occur in them, and the best thing is that works with most platforms that we can access through a web browser, whose audio or video is based on HTML5, including networks like YouTube and Instagram.

Both the silence threshold value set and the playback speed of those silent parts, set to triple the default speed, have their respective custom settings, so users can activate and modify them as they please.

Those who choose to make the one-time payment of $5 can also access the rest of the available features, including the feature that allows dynamic setting of the mute threshold value on a per-video basis, and more.

And also, taking into account that this extension collects data anonymously on its use, those who do not wish to have the function available can deactivate it without any problems in its operation.
