User reviews
Pros
- Effectively blocks and skips YouTube ads for many users.
- Survives most recent YouTube ad detection updates better than some other ad blockers.
- Easy to use and appreciated for reducing unskippable ad interruptions.
- Has received positive feedback for recent updates improving functionality.
- Lightweight and specialized for YouTube ads, making it attractive to users focused on that platform.
Cons
- Occasionally speeds up entire videos, not just ads, causing playback issues.
- Sometimes fails to skip ads properly, or skips too far into the video.
- May trigger YouTube's anti-adblock detection popup, asking to disable ad blockers.
- Auto-skip and click-skip features do not always work consistently for all users.
- Can reset custom video playback speeds after ads, which is annoying for users who watch videos at different speeds.
