Two-tab technique
This one may be a bit tricky to do,
but you don’t have to install any add-ons nor software by doing the trick.
To do this:
- Begin by opening two tabs of Hulu with two same contents.
- Mute Hulu on the second tab; and to the first ad marker, fast forward the show.
- Pause the show once you put the seek button slightly after the first ad marker.
- Back on the first tab, start playing your show.
- Once you reach the first ad marker, switch the tab.
- Don’t forget to turn off the Mute button to enable the audio.
It’s good that this trick will help you to skip ads without installing any software or extension.
But the drawbacks are inevitable either: it’s a bit tricky;
and for the next ad, you have to do the method from the start.
