Youtube Anti Adblock Bypasser

an extension to bypass the video player block when using an adblock on youtube

This add-on was removed from Firefox Browser Add-ons on 2025-05-17

YouTube Anti Adblock Bypasser is a Chrome extension designed to help users bypass video playback blocks that appear when using adblockers on YouTube. By transforming the video URL into an embedded format, it disables the adblock detection message, allowing you to watch videos without ads interrupting your experience.

Please note, the extension is no longer under active development and may disable certain video player features, such as fullscreen mode. Some videos might not play due to copyright restrictions. Compatibility with other extensions isn't guaranteed, but it works best alongside uBlock Origin. If videos don't appear, refreshing the page usually resolves the issue. For developers interested in customizing or updating the extension, the source code is available on GitHub for forking.

Extension safety

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 Anti Adblock Bypasser requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
