Youtube Anti Adblock Bypasser

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

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.

User reviews

Users appreciate the Firefox add-on "Youtube Anti Adblock Bypasser" for effectively bypassing YouTube's anti-adblock restrictions and reliably enabling ad-free playback. However, multiple reviewers report significant drawbacks like inability to use full screen mode properly, broken or glitchy playlist behavior, and occasional video control issues. Despite these cons, it remains a valuable tool especially as a fallback when other adblock extensions fail, though users suggest improvements to fullscreen and playlist support would greatly enhance usability.
Pros
  • Effectively bypasses YouTube's anti-adblock measures and allows video playback without ads.

  • Lacks proper full screen support, a frequent complaint making viewing less convenient.

  • Video player display issues such as black borders and reduced player size especially on large screens.
  • Video controls can be glitchy, sometimes becoming unusable or losing keyboard control.
  • Compatibility issues when used simultaneously with other extensions (e.g., Enhancer for YouTube) causing control cutoffs.
