User reviews

Users praise Spark blocker for effectively blocking most YouTube ads, enhancing productivity with a clean, ad-free experience, and working immediately after installation without detection by YouTube's anti-adblock measures. However, it struggles to block Twitch ads, occasionally misses some ads requiring page refresh, sometimes causes brief video pauses, and recent updates risk blocking the YouTube video player. It also shows limitations on music streaming apps. Overall, users find it a highly recommended and useful extension with some compatibility and reliability issues on specific platforms.
Pros
  • Effectively blocks most YouTube ads without triggering YouTube's anti-adblocker.
  • Enhances productivity by providing a clean, ad-free browsing experience.
  • Easy to use and works immediately after installation.
  • Maintains video play continuity even when blocking ads by refreshing the page automatically.
  • Highly recommended by multiple users for improving browsing experience.
Cons
  • Does not work on Twitch ads as noted by multiple users.
  • Occasionally some ads slip through and require page refresh to be blocked.
  • Some users experience momentary video pauses when ads are blocked.
  • Recent updates have caused it to almost block the YouTube video player, risking access.
  • Ineffective on certain music streaming apps and not universally compatible across all sites.
