Short description
Are you tired of all the ads of streaming sites? Just Stream filters everyting but the video so you can enjoy your streams again. Watch all of the videos – but none of the ads! (...even on sites which block adblockers)
Full summary

How does it work? Streaming sites usually embed videos from video hosting sites and add advertisements on top of it. Just Stream extract the video from the page that it hosted, and replace the contents of the streaming site just with the video. I makes you save a lot of time closing overlays.

Usage Just Stream works automatically when it detects a embeded video, taking that video to the front. You can always deactivate Just Stream for websites where you don't want it to work.

Does it removes the ads completely? Just Stream is not an ad blocker, it just replace the streaming page contents with the embeded video. That is enough to remove all the ads from the streaming website but, if there are advertisements in the video hosting site, they will still be there. You can expect multiple improvements in the future, but right now it already saves you a lot of hassle. The use of an ad blocker is also recommended.

Changelog

Version 1.1.0

  • Improves video detection: Reduce wrong videos to the front. Added videos using <embed> element.
  • Takes the video to the very front of the iframe.
  • Adds fullscreen capabilities for all videos.

OpenVideo creates a safe space on every video playing webpage - ideal for streaming sites bloated with ads and malware!

OpenVideo comes with its own video player, which has some pretty cool features: ► adds player hotkeys (eg. 'f' for fullscreen) ► download button for every video ► add subtitles easily from hard drive or url ► starts video where you left ► theatre mode and picture-in-picture mode

And on the most common streaming sites the OpenVideo player will be embedded automatically.

Also there is a built in video search engine (doesn't overwrite your default search engine) and a library where you can manage your video history and your playlists.

This addon uses Google Analytics so I can see which streaming hosts are most commonly used. This data is anonymous and can't be connected to individual users. This data important to keep up the high functionality rate of this addon, however you can turn it off in the extension's options.
