- (2024-06-03) Emanuel Cozmanciuc: Switched from AdBlock to this one - it works for now! Fingers crossed. And thank you very much, devs! Edit, Nov 23rd (previous review Oct 17th): as others have mentioned, I kept getting single image ads requiring to press skip for a couple weeks - not too bad - BUT since today, I get full on un-skippable ads :(
- (2024-03-17) Dat Tran: Old review: Works really well to dodge the Youtube pop-up ads saying to disable ad blockers. New review: YouTube has sadly caught onto this adblock and is preventing me from watching further videos until disable it, which unfortunately had to. Please find a workaround for this great extension.
- (2024-01-30) 阮俊茗: 2023.10.24 有效 2024.1.30更新 无效,被youtube检测无法播放视频
- (2024-01-19) Mufmager: It used to work fine but it doesn't skip the image ads, 0 stars if I could, I am very annoyed by this. People who leave a dislike must be blind because the extension has a huge flaw with what I just mentioned. It practically just skips the video ads only, but does NOT press the button to skip the image ad, work on that and my review will change.
- (2023-11-14) Serhii Ivanov: New type of ads appeared on YT (images) pls make a fix to skip them too.
- (2023-11-12) yst Odyssey: It works. Also, even with ads that show a skip button, if you wait a few seconds it will automatically end! It would be helpful if that wait time could be made a little shorter!
- (2023-11-10) pando: Those who review it do not work are just idiots. This is 100% working, but its not the same as it used to be, thanks to the new YouTube anti-adblock system. If the YouTube anti-adblock system is still preventing you from viewing videos, you need to disable the old adblock onpage (like origin, adblock plus, etc.) and always enable this adblock. 3 stars because it isn't perfect like an old day.
- (2023-11-08) ハリス: doesn't work
- (2023-11-08) Liam: works, lots of love to the dev
- (2023-11-04) S Yash Pravesh: This ad block not only doesnt affect the creators also blocks the ad by fast forwarding the ad. Its a win win situation to all although there is a split second lag sometimes but thats bearable. Thanks to this youtube video i was able to find this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8SCLEjTGzY&ab_channel=Zeuscritic
- (2023-11-04) HankerTanger: I'm pretty sure content creators still get revenue from this, so no one loses but the advertisers!
- (2023-11-03) Tinthu3 nhom2: try in 30 minuites and still shows some youtube ads. So sad
- (2023-10-31) J a: Thank you so much for keeping youtubes greed from reaching my butt wallet!
- (2023-10-30) Kronnixz: bypasses the "Ad blockers are not allowed" stuff, works great. I can finally watch kasane teto dancing for 10 hours on loop again thanks to this extension. Whoever developed this, you are the GOAT and I wish you fortune and luck for the rest of your life
- (2023-10-29) Petr Šída: Other adblockers are beng detected and video won't play. This one works fine.
- (2023-10-27) Wolf Steelpaw: broke my youtube, it sucks
- (2023-10-27) maria: I love this aaaaaaaa thank uuu
- (2023-10-26) Est Cientoveinte: actualmente funciona salteandose todos los anuncios sin problemas
- (2023-10-26) Souhaib Essar-rhini: Works 100%
- (2023-10-26) grib: Used to work by playing less than a second of an ad and auto skipping but now there'll be an icon of the ad and a skip button that doesn't autoskip and I have to do that myself. Please look into this.
- (2023-10-26) AngryJellyfish: Works for me, at the time of posting! Many thanks.
- (2023-10-26) Derfavel: It works, thank you so much

- (2023-10-23) Ricardo Liborio Rivas de Castro: Adeus anúncios irritantes do YouTube ! Nunca mais terei aqueles anúncios irritantes outra vez no meu computador ! Agora poderei relaxar e escutar conteúdos do YouTube sem ser incomodado por anúncios idiotas ! Graças a Deus eu encontrei esta extensão no Chrome e Edge ! Esta é a melhor extensão de todas no Chrome e Edge para bloquear anúncios no YouTube !
- (2023-10-23) Mehmet Kara: Works very good, if you get warning from youtube about adblock, this extension will solve that and make sure to turn off or remove the old adblock that was causing it (21.10 2023)
- (2023-10-21) alexey howiich: Looks like it does work!
- (2023-10-21) Ben S.: This did NOT work for me! Youtube is STILL blocking video playback! So much for that!
- (2023-10-21) vee eks: It does help but I found it doesn't work 100% of the time. Sometimes I still get that annoying reminder about having an adblocker on despite only using this extension to block ads on youtube. When I refresh the page it works fine and fast forwards the ads like others have said.
- (2023-10-20) M. Lidid: EXCELENTE !!
- (2023-10-20) kmsthanks: Works around the new youtube anti ad block screen perfectly. Only con is that you see a split second frame of the ad thats about to pop up then it goes away. Though this may be a pro if it lets youtubers get ad revenue from the fact that the ad still technically starts,
- (2023-10-20) John Whalem: A brilliant and useful example of what the internet should be used for.. Big respect to the developers. Who knows what YT will pull on us next?
- (2023-10-18) Xalalau Xubilozo: Disable AdBlock only on Youtube and use this one. Thank you.
- (2023-10-18) Oil: Doesnt fully skip the ads and a slight pause after each ad, but a massive W and its free. I recomend this
- (2023-10-18) Andrew Blattenberger: It works with the recent Youtube change
- (2023-10-18) Joel: bypass youtube ads by auto-fastforwarding lol
- (2023-10-18) ѕαмυlι ναlтσиєи: so far so good.. but how long.. is good question?
- (2023-10-18) Ronny ottesen: no more youtube warning popups in 3 days after installing.thanks alot
- (2023-10-18) MJ Alaniz: doesn't work

- (2023-10-18) Daniel: Very good thank god
- (2023-10-17) Kaocity: I thought it was working on at least some videos, but on others I got ads.
- (2023-10-17) Alan Shore: working so far....
- (2023-10-17) DUKES X: This works.
- (2023-10-17) Stephen Chong: Lifesaver!!!
- (2023-10-17) Fandy M Saputra: 17-10-2023 12:56 still works.!!
- (2023-10-16) Jet Magnum: Amazing work! As long as Youtube keeps promoting and shoving predatory ads in our face, I will keep trying to get adblockers to bypass their horrendous anti-adblocker policy that's clearly a more monetary-driven move to promote Youtube Premium rather than improving currently awful user experience. I encourage everyone else to get this adblocker to protest the garbage decisions pushed by Youtube and Google.
