The Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro allows us to skip advertising

Since last Monday, many are the users who are beginning to receive the first MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and little by little we are discovering new functions that we were not aware of until now. One of the ones that has attracted the most attention is the impossibility of being able to replace the SSD disk by the user, at least in the 15-inch model, while the 13-inch model without the Touch Bar is possible. But another of the functions, if we talk about the Touch Bar, which a Reddit user called RomansFiveEight has discovered, is that allows us to skip the initial advertising of YouTube videos.

As this user has discovered, when you slide your finger on the Touch Bar while the previous advertising of the videos is starting to play, it can be advanced until the video that we are going to play begins, something that we cannot do in any other way . One of the main functions that the Touch Bar offers us when playing videos it is the possibility to advance or rewind the video according to our needs, so it is not surprising that the Touch Bar allows you to skip advertising, only through Safari.

We do not know the system that Google uses to check whether the ads prior to the videos on its platform are played completely or not, but This ad problem seems to be more of a Google problem than a Touch Bar perk, since through the mouse or the keyboard it is impossible to skip the ads prior to playing a video. Presumably Google will solve this small problem sooner rather than later before the loss of advertising revenue can affect it financially.

    "It allows us to skip the publicity" It is incorrect, it is an anacoluto. In any case it would be: it allows us to skip advertising or it allows us to skip advertising.

      You're right. The rush is never good when it comes to writing.
