User Reviews

Feedback is mixed: many users praise the add-on for effective YouTube ad blocking, faster loading, and lightweight, Mac-friendly operation. However, a subset reports stability issues, including playback or site breaks when the extension is active. A few also note possible detection by YouTube. Overall, it appears to work well for many, but reliability can vary depending on system and usage.

Pros

YouTube-focused ad blocking that removes pre-roll, mid-roll, and banner ads.
Faster, smoother YouTube playback and page loads when ads are blocked.
Lightweight and simple to use.
Mac compatibility: works on macOS desktops.
Some users report it can bypass YouTube's ad-blocker detection.

Cons

Can break YouTube playback or the site in some cases (video playback errors or page failures).

This extension doesn't work. I still get ads even though it's enabled. And I did check the permissions, they are all granted.

Blocks ads, but also breaks playback when dynamically loading videos, like the other ad blockers. Always the "error occured" message. Needs refreshing the page all the time.

Is AdBlocker for YouTube™ Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AdBlocker for YouTube™ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
