Lightweight - Youtube™ AdBlock Extension

Lightweight Adblock: Eliminate Video Ads and Banners on General Websites and Video Platforms Such as YouTube™

Ⓘ About
Lightweight Adblock is a content filtering and ad-blocking extension designed to eliminate all ads on YouTube™. It empowers users to prevent page elements, such as ads, from appearing. Whether it’s banner ads, video clips, or those pesky pre-roll ads that you often encounter before watching a YouTube video, this extension ensures a seamless viewing experience.

Features:

☆ Blocks ads, banners, and pop-ups
☆ Ad blocking on external sites that load YouTube content
☆ Prevents pre-roll ads from loading on YouTube
☆ Customizable ad blocking: choose which ads to block based on your preferences
☆ Works beyond video sites, allowing you to customize ad blocking on specific types of websites
☆ The technology is based solely on ad-blocking filter lists that block external ad URLs on YouTube.
☆ We don’t alter anything on the site itself. Lightweight Adblock enhances performance by allowing websites to load faster—free from ads and tracking.

✓ Privacy
✓ All video ad detection processes occur locally on your device, ensuring your activity remains private.
✓ We also request permission to access your browsing history solely for tracking installations, and we do not monitor or store any personal data.

It’s free to download and use!
