来自 Fangli，1 年前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.)

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).
