Cannot skip the ads of youtube in google chrome about fadblock HOT 8 OPEN

Can you make the following change in background.js and try again (this works for me):

//const skipLock = document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-preview-text")?.innerText;
const skipLock = document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-preview-text-modern")?.innerText;

In other words, I think youtube has changed that class name. (This patch should be made generic, if it really works for you too).

Have you refreshed the tab YouTube is open in?

Yes, I have closed the chrome several times, but it still not work. I also reinstall the extension, and also not working.

I am having the same issue as well, ads are playing and not being skipped, the tab needs to be refreshed multiple times before it works. I've updated Chrome, the extension and still the same.

you likely didnt disable your default adblock, you need to do that, fadblock cant help it if your default adblock gets detected

Nope, I don't have any other adblocker installed.

This appears to have fixed mine after the recent chrome update

It works for me as of now.

Seems like a geo-rollout. Let me know if that's still the case.

The classes are pushed on a server so it should be solved instantly without updating the extension.
