- Ocena: 4/5Autor: JennaKay, 6 miesięcy temuFad block, itself, is awesome. Its such a great idea. And works most of the time. Its YouTube that is the problem because YouTube detects FB every time there is an ad, so it will block it every time.
When this happens you have to manually refresh the page, and then video will continue playing. Its just a huge pain in the ass to have to continue doing that every time an ad comes on. I keep reporting to YouTube that Im not using an ad blocker.
But every once in a while FB randomly stops working. But in this case, just delete and re-download and it will start working again.
But other than that I have no complaints.
Thank you to the developers for making this awesome extension. - It works pretty well. I had increased lag for a bit and it seems like the guy fixed it. He appears to be doing a great job with this project and I respect that. I'll need to remove it as it stopped working (I assume it's because I haven't paid). I wish it was free as it looks legit but I'm not making enough for it. Great experience though and the creator looks like he's making improvements still! Good Luck!

Data: rok temuI am sorry, on Firefox the performance is not good. I am working on performance problems but YouTube pushes upwards of 4 MB of client source which makes the whole process a lot harder.- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Firefox user 14330609, rok temuUse with FIREFOX, if the operation does not become slow, 5 stars
Good luck! I'm rooting for you. - Updating the review to reflect the add-on's current state. It's still highly useful and pretty much the only easily accessible way to dodge youtube ads at this point, but I'm somewhat questioning the decision of having the same update that started letting ads slip through also include a payment plan. Still a great deal better than YouTube Premium, but leaves some stuff to be desired.
(Replying to dev: I appreciate the effort that goes into this, and I'm also seriously considering paying the fee when the free trial expires. My point largely pertained to the timing of the two things happening concurrently, since - as we can see very clearly from the reviews - people don't take the reveal of "This has kinda stopped working... wait, and I also have to pay for it now?" too well.)Odpowiedź autora
Data: rok temuThank you for writing again.
I hope you can understand how much time and energy it takes to maintain something like this where YouTube is actively trying to shut out everything for such a large userbase all the while trying to work >80 hours on your own thing.
It's currently priced at 5.99$ as a one-time lifetime license fee, is that a deal-breaker for you?
The codebase is not the same, it uses a Mutation Observer API to improve the compatibility across web browsers as well as to hopefully lower the load time (100 ms).
If you want any feature or support, I would be happy to do it but maintaining it for free was getting very hectic, I can lower the price barely evening out the transaction fees, the server costs, etc.
Reply: Yes, that's fair, but when and if people buy, I would be able to rotate updates much faster. It works, but of course, when YouTube releases a new geo-specific patch, it takes a bit to unpack, update, and upgrade the extension which is a tedious process (hence the ask). - Ocena: 4/5Autor: Firefox user 18105203, 2 lata temuRequires some tweaking of other extensions if you use several blockers, but then it works exactly as described; allowing a YouTube ad for less than a second and then showing what you actually want to watch. Finally free to watch again.
