YouTube Player AdBlocker is a specialized Chrome extension designed to prevent all types of advertisements within the YouTube video player, including HTML5 and Flash players. Unlike general-purpose ad blockers, this extension focuses solely on blocking player ads without monitoring network traffic, ensuring a lightweight experience that conserves system resources. It is ideal for users seeking ad-free YouTube viewing without the overhead of full ad-blocking solutions.

This extension complements a suite of other YouTube-focused tools aiming to enhance video streaming experience such as enabling HD playback, disabling annotations, and preventing autoplay. For detailed bug reports, FAQs, and to explore related tools, visit the official support page provided by the developer. The extension prioritizes privacy by limiting background monitoring typically seen in broader ad blockers.

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 Player AdBlocker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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 Browser Add-ons, 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 Player AdBlocker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
