User reviews

USELESS. I tried to apply it bas an ad blocker for YouTube (I cannot afford premium), and it made the YouTube home page completely blank. I couldn't adjust three settings, either. Maybe my laptop is out of date, but this app isn't good if you want to use it for annoying ad-free entertainment. I like to sleep with YouTube on, but not happy with loud, obnoxious game demos or sales pitches for businesses I have no interest in. I had Ad Block for a brief while, but it failed after that. Then I tried another, and Chrome claimed today that it had malware, so that, too is now gone. Meanwhile, ads on YouTube are worse than ever in quantity, and they do their best to keep pushing Premium. So not fair. I understand ads pay costs, but do not overdo it or insert them in the middle of a sentence or important message.
