No more waiting for skip buttons. No more sitting through unskippable 30-second ads. Just press play.
AdShield blocks pre-roll and mid-roll video ads before they even start. It also removes those annoying banner overlays and hides sponsored results when you search.
When YouTube detects your ad blocker and tries to stop playback, AdShield handles it automatically. Our blocking rules update in the background, so you stay ahead of YouTube's detection without lifting a finger.
When fraudulent ads show, the extension reports them to help get scams removed from the platform.
Install once. Forget it exists. Just enjoy the show.

- the best tool there is out there, i had bad experiences with other extensions they would randomly stop working and that was stressful. but this can go on for hours on end without slipping once and youtube had a new update which didnt let third party adblockers work but this outdid that update and kept performing. its great you must try it highly recomended.

- A blocker that gives you a popup that no matter how often you close, will eventually reappear. Why? If I am not interested in your "auto updating" policy, why do you keep trying to make me add it?

- Very good improvement from uBlock Origin lite which had issues with "This content is not available" bug. Disabled uBlock on youtube.com in it's options, downloaded this extension and now everything works perfectly.

- Excellent

- RECOMMENDED
- Cassandra Carpenter
- Continues to function even with the latest attempts by Youtube to force ads upon you -- you'll see the brief "ad blockers are not allowed" screen before the extension auto-reloads and fixes it. For a long while this was entirely seamless, but the addon still works just as well even in the current landscape. Here's hoping they keep up the good work and keep preventing ads, because advertising is a stain on the universe and needs to be eliminated.

- Works best for youtube. Ublcok origin, and Ublock origin lite used to be just as good, but lately there is a lot of lag when loading youtube videos with Ublcok. This is ot the case with Adshield. I hope it stays that way.
