User reviews

Users initially praise the add-on for effectively blocking YouTube ads and enhancing viewing experience. However, multiple reviews indicate it has become ineffective due to YouTube detecting the ad blocker and blocking video playback. This detection leads to frequent usability issues, causing frustration. Users note the need for timely updates to counter YouTube's anti-adblock strategies. Many suggest switching to alternative ad blockers as a result. Overall, while the add-on was once reliable, recent changes by YouTube have severely impacted its effectiveness and user satisfaction.
Pros
  • Effectively blocks YouTube ads when functional
  • Worked well over a long period before recent issues
  • Receives positive remarks when operable
  • User-friendly and appreciated by users

  • Ad blocker detection by YouTube prevents video playback when active
  • Requires frequent updates to keep up with YouTube's anti-adblock measures
  • Users report it is unusable because of detection messages
  • Users suggest switching to alternatives like uBlock

Extension safety

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.
