With FadBlock Origin, enjoy a seamless YouTube experience free from ads without any complex setup—just install and watch videos uninterrupted with quicker page loads.

User Reviews

FadBlock Origin is praised for significantly reducing ads, especially on YouTube, making viewing less irritating. However, multiple users report it recently stopped working as YouTube detects and blocks it, requiring manual refreshes or disabling the extension. Lack of updates over months suggests the add-on may be abandoned. Users also find purchase popups annoying. Despite issues, some users thank developers and find it effective when working properly.

Pros

Effectively blocks most ads most of the time when functioning correctly.
Appreciated for reducing the irritation of frequent unskippable ads, particularly on YouTube.
Easy to reinstall to temporarily resolve issues when it stops working.

Cons

Recently stopped working properly, especially on YouTube, due to YouTube detecting the blocker.
No recent updates in many months, suggesting the add-on might be abandoned.
Annoying popups prompting users to buy the add-on, which are intrusive especially when it doesn't work.
Frequent need to manually refresh YouTube videos when ads occur to continue playback.

It used to work really well like 3 months ago but it has not worked at all since then. When it does work its good but it will spam you with a popup telling you to buy it which is really annoying and makes me not want to buy it even more ESPECIALLY when it's not even working most of the time. I cannot recommend this extension at all in it's current state and with no updates or anything in the past 7 months I think it's safe to say this extension is dead.

Is FadBlock Origin 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.

FadBlock Origin requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

FadBlock Origin has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
