## Description

'FadBlock' is a fast, lightweight, and quite undetectable Firefox add-on that blocks advertisements on YouTube and YouTube Music. It doesn't follow the traditional ad-blocking procedure as it merely skips ads instead of preventing them from loading. FadBlock works quietly in the backdrop without requiring complex setups or configurations. Consequently, users can enjoy a YouTube experience that's free from ads, has quicker page loading speeds, and offers an unbroken viewing journey. This nifty extension works on all categories of YouTube ads, from those displayed on the homepage, overlaid on suggested videos, visible below descriptions, to video ads that play at the start, midway, or end of a video.
