Very Good AdBlock Firefox

Very Good AdBlock

By: Chris Add-on
Removes ads, pop-ups, and YouTube and Twitch interruptions at the source. Fast, private, no telemetry.

Features & Capabilities

Very Good AdBlock removes ads, pop-ups, and YouTube and Twitch interruptions at the source, then stays out of the way. It is a Manifest V3 extension for Chrome and Firefox, built to be fast and private: no accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your machine.

What it does

  • Network blocking. Stops 14,000+ ad, tracker, and annoyance hosts before the request completes, using bundled declarativeNetRequest rules that refresh daily from a public host list generated from pinned filter-list revisions.
  • YouTube and Twitch. Strips video ads out of YouTube's player response so the real video starts immediately, skips anything that slips through, and detects Twitch stream ads. The player itself is never touched.
  • Pop-ups and pop-unders. Neutralizes the click-hijack pop-ups that streaming and file-host sites open, including the ones fired from inside a player iframe.
  • Cookie banners. Optional one-click hiding of the common consent overlays.
  • One-click control. Pause protection per site, keep an allowlist, and read local stats (blocked count, data saved, video time) from a clean dashboard, in a light or dark theme that follows your system.
  • One-click reporting. If an ad ever slips through, report it straight from the popup — it opens a pre-filled issue with diagnostics so it gets fixed fast.
Privacy
  • No telemetry and no analytics. Nothing about your browsing is collected or sent anywhere. Settings and lifetime totals sync through your own browser account only; the detailed history stays on the device.

Is Very Good AdBlock Safe?

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.

Very Good AdBlock requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Very Good AdBlock is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
