Features & Capabilities

YouTube Adblock Bypass is a Firefox extension that changes your User-Agent string on YouTube to imitate a Windows Phone, enabling the bypass of YouTube's ad block ban. It also redirects mobile YouTube links to their desktop counterparts, ensuring the use of the desktop layout. It is recommended to use an ad blocker alongside this extension, as the Windows Phone User-Agent doesn't load most editions.

TamperMonkey stopped working after Youtube looped it into its adblock ban script, so I couldn't use that to unlock age restricted videos anymore (instead of forking over my government ID like some idiot for them to sell to advertisers lol). Thanks to this extension, TM works again like a charm! Great work!

Is YouTube Adblock Bypass 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.

YouTube Adblock Bypass requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Request access to the following domains: youtube.com
High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******

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.

YouTube Adblock Bypass may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
