av Fangli, för ett år sedanUpdating 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.)

postad för ett år sedanThank 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).

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av kessoku, för 5 månader sedanIt used to work really well like 3 months ago but it has not worked at all since then. When it does work its good but it will spam you with a popup telling you to buy it which is really annoying and makes me not want to buy it even more ESPECIALLY when it's not even working most of the time. I cannot recommend this extension at all in it's current state and with no updates or anything in the past 7 months I think it's safe to say this extension is dead.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av David Grossberg, för 5 månader sedanIt stopped working a few weeks or maybe a month ago and hasn't been updated. Just not skipping ads anymore. I tried uninstall and reinstalling it, but that didn't help
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av JennaKay, för 6 månader sedanFad 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. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av gadget76, för 6 månader sedan

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 12455499, för 9 månader sedanThis has recently (7/25/24) stopped working as youtube detects it and refuses to play videos until I turn it off. It is a great addon when it works. Please update.

Time in Mathikere, Bengaluru, Karnataka and this extension if working fine, keep up the hard work - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 13744103, för ett år sedanEver since YouTube started putting multiple 20 second unskippable adverts into almost every video - including where you click onto a new video after a few seconds - I have been looking for a way of skipping them as they're worse than TV! Thanks for this great extension which sorts the irritation.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Matt, för ett år sedanIt 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!
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Dormiyu, för ett år sedanIt's just stopped working as of yesterday and nothing I can find seems to make it work again. It's also ironically asking for money now...
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Lesley Lai, för ett år sedanI like this plugin and it works well for me. Unfortunately, from the Github:
> I am no longer the owner of the extension called "FadBlock". I handed the extension off over a month ago, seems like it traded hands a couple of times, and now the current owner has added malicious code while keeping the extension as it is!
https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock - Betygsatt 1 av 5av nuhg, för ett år sedandownload for blockING ads.
however, it got much more ads.
Nice job - Betygsatt 5 av 5av carolynk, för ett år sedanAfter 2-3 months of youtube blocking ad blockers, I found fadblock. It's been installed for a month and works great.

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Derp, för ett år sedanOnly half works. It prevents ads from playing, but your video stops and you still have to click "skip ad" to make the video play again. Would pay for it if it didn't stop my videos still.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av kuziemek, för ett år sedanDoes the job of blocking video ads without being detected perfectly, but the ones on the main page sometimes get through.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av malau, för ett år sedanA paid extension on FIREFOX ?!! The dev should take his scummy practices back to Chrome where this kind of behaviour belongs.
- Betygsatt 3 av 5av NR, för ett år sedanOnce I figured out that it wasn't only uBlock Origin that was clashing with fadblock, but also the “block ads” aspect of Enhancer for YouTube™, it seemed to work perfectly.
The only reason I can't give it a higher score (aside from the payment aspect), is that while I only had to disable one aspect of Enhancer to get fadblock working, none of Enhancer's features work while fadblock is working, and it's painful to lose Enhancer functionality. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 18180334, för ett år sedan
