User reviews

Many users find this extension useful for blocking YouTube ads and appreciate its simplicity and privacy focus. However, its lack of updates over several years has caused it to stop working effectively for some, with ads still appearing or only partially blocked. While it once worked reliably, recent YouTube changes seem to have bypassed the ad blocking, leading to mixed user experiences.

Pros

Effectively blocks most YouTube ads, improving viewing experience.
Lightweight and only accesses youtube.com data, ensuring privacy.
Easy to use with positive feedback from users who want fewer ads.
Some users found it reliable for over a year before issues appeared.

Cons

Extension has not been updated for years, leading to decreased effectiveness as YouTube changes.
Recently stopped working for multiple users, with ads still appearing.
Provides only partial ad blocking (sometimes showing a brief ad frame).
May not block all types of ads or new ad formats on YouTube.

Extension safety

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.

Ad Blocker for YouTube requires very minimum permissions.

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.
