Android Question how the app "SkipAds" is working

[Alexander Stolte]

Hey,

i discovered an exciting app yesterday, the app is called "SkipAds" and this is skips advertising automatically in the Youtube app.

Now of course I wonder how you can do something like that, click in another app and, above all, find the right button?

Greetings

Maybe using a Accessibilityservice?

maybe the open a vpn and guide all traffic through their dns server where everything ad related is being blocked?

Ironically, the app that lets you skip ads actually contains ads itself...

Let's write an app to skip the ads from this app ??
