Emanuel Cozmanciuc (ID: 000000e8f928d4a7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/03/2024 Switched from AdBlock to this one - it works for now! Fingers crossed. And thank you very much, devs! Edit, Nov 23rd (previous review Oct 17th): as others have mentioned, I kept getting single image ads requiring to press skip for a couple weeks - not too bad - BUT since today, I get full on un-skippable ads :(

Dat Tran (ID: 00000098d3844390) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/17/2024 Old review: Works really well to dodge the Youtube pop-up ads saying to disable ad blockers. New review: YouTube has sadly caught onto this adblock and is preventing me from watching further videos until disable it, which unfortunately had to. Please find a workaround for this great extension.

Serhii Ivanov (ID: 000000accde9383e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/14/2023 New type of ads appeared on YT (images) pls make a fix to skip them too.

yst Odyssey (ID: 000000b009ddd5c9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/12/2023 It works. Also, even with ads that show a skip button, if you wait a few seconds it will automatically end! It would be helpful if that wait time could be made a little shorter!
