OpenTube

OpenTube automatically skip ads and hides annoying banner ads. OpenTube is a Chrome extension that blocks ads from YouTube™ and keeps track of the time you've saved by not watching ads on the platform. This content filtering and ad-blocking tool blocks all kinds of ads on YouTube, including banner ads, ad-clips, and pre-roll ads.

With OpenTube, you'll experience faster loading times and a more streamlined viewing experience. The technology behind the extension is based on ad-blocking filter lists that block external ad URLs on YouTube without making any changes to the website itself.

This extension is built with the new Manifest 3 system, which is privacy-aware and requires minimal permissions for ad-blocking on YouTube. You can trust that any adblock detection happens on your computer and is not tracked or monitored.

OpenTube is open-source and under the GPL3 License. You can review the code or contact support for more information. While the extension may ask for access to your browsing history and website data, it is only because OpenTube for YouTube™ runs on every tab, and does not monitor your browsing history or require any personal information to function properly.
