Users generally praise this add-on for effectively blocking YouTube ads and enhancing their viewing experience. It's described as simple, effective, and appreciated for fighting intrusive advertisements. However, multiple reviews note that YouTube often detects the add-on and may refuse to play videos or display warnings encouraging users to subscribe to YouTube Premium.
