Removes ads from Youtube™. Add OSX-style two-finger multitouch gestures
Full summary

✓ Permissions: like common ad-blocking extensions we do need default permissions on every website to remove ads or popups for example on embedded videos and Youtube itself.

ⓘ About Adblock for Youtube™ is a content filtering and ad blocking browser extension which blocks all ads on Youtube™. It allows users to prevent page elements, such as advertisements, from being displayed. Banner, Ad-Clips or even preroll ads you usually see before the actual video on Youtube are blocked by this extension.

Features:

  • blocks ads, banner and popups
  • blocking of ads on external sites which load Youtube
  • prevent preroll ads from loading on Youtube
  • you can also remove annotations from videos and musics (see options page).
  • loads videos and YouTube website faster.

The technology is simply based on adblocking filterlists which blocks external ad urls on Youtube. We do not change anything on the website itself.
