Please just remove the adblocking functionality entirely. Youtube detects it and blocks videos whether the adblock is turned on or not, and you have to disable the extension entirely just to play the video. uBlock Origin already blocks Youtube ads without being detected, so it's redundant anyway.

The setting "Hide Sponsored videos & promos" seems to trigger YouTube's adblock detector.

Works pretty well, although the "skip ads" and "hide sponsored" options cause Youtube's anti-adblock popups to block the video player when using on Desktop.

I also wish it would fix Youtube Search when using on Mobile, since Youtube Search Fixer isn't available on Android.

it's great, doing its job , much appreciated!

Got this extension to fix the thumbnail problem, only to find out it had a setting for every other feature that annoyed me about youtube (pushing members only content, livestreams, defaulting to shitty AI dubs for languages I speak, the homepage being 90% videos I've already seen). Genuinely don't think I could go back to using youtube without it!

I had the "Skip ads" setting turned off since I use uBlock Origin to block ads, but this extension was still triggering the warning about adblockers. Turns out it was the "Skip sponsored videos and promos" setting that was causing it. Just wanted to put this here for anyone else having this issue.

Great extension however due to its adblock function it trigger's youtube's adblock-detector and makes it so you can't watch videos. If an alternate version of this exisited without the built in adblocker (since I use a dedicated adblocker) then that'd be perfect. Good extension over all though!

I am using Firefox on Android. When I open a private tab, the autoplay off feature doesn't work. It just doesn't seem to show the autoplay icon.

Addon is getting detected and youtube blocks playing video. Some updates needed seems as of now to avoid this.
Other than that its been working very well so far.

Making youtube usable and sane. really appreciate the work.

I dont think this is compatible with Blocktube, when the two were added on together I couldnt write comments or like/dislike comments but I beg you, please give us the options to block channels and videos. This is a amazing add on and I love it.

In 2025, this add-on is an absolute must-have. YouTube has made a series of frustrating and questionable changes in recent years, many of which have negatively impacted the user experience. This tool goes a long way in helping to restore some sanity and usability to the platform.

Whether it's undoing design choices that don’t benefit viewers, or reintroducing elements that users actually found helpful, this add-on feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and works exactly as described. If you’re tired of fighting with a platform that seems to ignore its community’s feedback, this is well worth installing.

One small suggestion for a future update: please consider adding the ability to disable the "important" notifications and bring back chronological ones instead. Many of us just want to see updates in the order they happen, without the algorithm deciding what’s important on our behalf.

Overall, this add-on does an excellent job of putting some control back in the hands of users. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal - completely fixes the borked UI that YouTube has forced upon anyone using Firefox and not their precious Google Chrome. Goodbye 2-3 video wide home page on 32" monitor...
