Features & Capabilities

Do your YouTube videos stall on a "You're using an ad blocker" or "experiencing interruptions" message when uBlock Origin is on? This add-on removes that popup and its dark overlay, then resumes the paused video, so playback keeps working with ad blocking enabled.

What it does

Clears the enforcement popup the moment it appears.
Unlocks the page and resumes the paused video automatically.
Stays current: it downloads a small list of rules so it keeps working when YouTube changes its popup, with no reinstall needed. The rules are plain data and are never run as code.
Puts settings in the toolbar icon and in about:addons: an on/off toggle and a manual "update rules" button.

A companion to uBlock Origin, not a replacement. uBlock does the ad blocking; this add-on only clears the nag screen and the playback lock that comes with it. Keep uBlock Origin and its filter lists updated for the best result.

No tracking, no analytics, no account. Free.

Is Experiencing Interruptions Fix for YouTube 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.

Experiencing Interruptions Fix for YouTube requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.
