User Reviews

Users are split: several report the add-on effectively removes YouTube ads with minimal setup, but the most common complaints are that it disables the comment box, is unreliable (fails after updates), and can break playback (black screen/error). Overall, major negatives appear in multiple reviews and outweigh mixed positive reports.

Pros

Blocks YouTube ads for some users — multiple reviewers say it ‘works’ to remove ads.
Works on certain setups (several users report successful ad blocking, including one mentioning MX Linux).
No configuration reported by users who found it effective — simple ad removal out of the box for some.

Cons

Blocks the YouTube comment box — prevents posting or sorting comments (reported by many users).
Unreliable or stops working frequently — several reviews state it doesn’t work most days or after YouTube updates.
Can break playback for some users (reports of black screen/playback error instead of ads).

It works rather good, but it blocks writing comments to videos, too. If you never comment video - this adblocker for youtube would be great for you! But not for me, alas...

Dieses Add-On kann ich leider nicht weiterempfehlen, da es auch die Kommentar-Leiste sperrt, sodass man selber keine Videos kommentieren kann.
