Extension summary

Blocks ads on Youtube by replacing the standard viewer with an embedded version of that video. Results in a smooth ad free experience.

  • Blocks ads at the beginning of videos
  • No interruptions during videos
  • Automatically checks if videos are embeddable, if not we revert back to original experience to minimize interruptions

If for some reason the video cannot be embedded, we give the user the option to manually disable through the popup, to not prevent the video from being played.
