Skip & Bypass Clicking, Waiting Time on Rapidshare, Megaupload and More
There are few tricks to bypass waiting time on Rapidshare, Megaupload and other popular file sharing services. Most of those tricks involve executing javascript from the address bar. Yes, it works in a way but it is very troublesome and not to mention those ugly pop-ups… gosh!
This leads to SkipScreen (it clicks, so you don’t have to) an amazing add-on for Firefox that helps you bypass all those craps! It’s 100% free of charge but of course Firefox is required.
SkipScreen is a free Firefox add-on that skips the clicking and waiting on sites like RapidShare, Megaupload, Mediafire, zShare, and more!
Never download music without it.
