skip screen extension

i am forced to write another review on yet another browser extension. The skipscreen extension promises to get rid of menacing countdowns from filesharing sites such as rapidshare and megaupload. I was expecting some mechanism which will crack the sites and make the free users equal to premium ones. Well it turned out to be some what different. This extension gets activated and takes control of the browser when it reaches any of the filesharing sites. Thereafter the countdown is managed by the extension itself and downloads are loaded automatically. Thus towards a major extent what we need to do is to load the relevant page and leave it to the extension.

So far in my experience, it performed very well with rapidshare and megaupload. However it do not give a commendable performance with hotfile. Bottomline-it's worth sparing a few bytes of browser memory if you are a download freak.
