- Rated 5 out of 5by Jayel, 7 months agoIt requires great effort to contend with such a big corporate as YouTube. Keep up with your great work, Piyush!
- Rated 2 out of 5by mf, 7 months agoyoutube trying to deal with fadblock?
The main video has also been turned into an advertisement and is fast forwarding... - Rated 1 out of 5by Aures, 7 months agoSkips the ads...and the whole video. Also keeps the video locked at the end so you're not able to see it

- Rated 5 out of 5by dearhorse085, 7 months agoIt simply doesn't work. The developer will try to tell you that it's because you're doing something wrong. You're not. Maybe it needs constant updates, but whatever the case may be, it simply doesn't block ads consistently. Maybe find out another way to implement updates through the addon itself. I was thinking of buying it too, seems like a good one time deal. But now I don't know, because if that keeps happening in the future it's not gonna be optimal.
Edit: I've seen the developer response, the addon seems to work fine. I'm still not sure though, I'll have to use it more. Because even when it was working before, sometimes ads would still appear and I'd have to re-install. Maybe if it updates internally now it will stay functional.
Edit 2: I thought there was a security risk because I received an email from the developer, but it turns out that only chrome had that problem. The addon is really really great!!Developer response
posted 7 months agoTry v2.5 and let me know.
I thought about it, and thanks to the few contributions, I was able to setup a personal server and implement a backend where FadBlock-2.5 fetches new patch details. - Rated 4 out of 5by そう, 7 months agoI appreciate that it skips ads instantly, but I am a little disappointed that the performance is still quite heavy.

posted 7 months agoI 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Pablo0390, 7 months agoAwesome initative. Not working since a few days ago, but it will be fixed with the next updates.

- Rated 5 out of 5by JasonB, 7 months agoAmazing Work! To the Dev, Please Please don't be discouraged by the negative people out there complaining about a little dono or support for you work. wE all have to eat don't we, and you are single handedly giving us all a solution. Thank you and PLEASE keep it up! NOTE: I will add that this was working however since the 10th it has stopped working and won't even count ads. (firefox) I'm sure you will get on top of it.

posted 7 months agoThank you so much for your kind words.
The new version is just going live, please update to the newest version and report if it still doesn't work. Hopefully it will. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kev The Galaxybender, 7 months agoLike it overall, and I will purchase once I get the pop up, however performance on Firefox has become very poor on YouTube. The home page takes a while to load. Hopefully the developer is looking into it
Developer response
posted 7 months agoYes, I am, Firefox has a lot of inbuilt controls as well as YouTube is injecting a ton of useless DOM objects just to make it harder which is causing performance problems. - Rated 1 out of 5by triger, 7 months agoMakes youtube slow and laggy and now it stoped working unless you pay for it, so i had to search for another working adblock and found uBlock origin, it works perfectly fine like with no lag and no 0.5 second ad skip, its just like pre youtube adblock ban. Don't waste your time with this crap extension.

posted 7 months agoHope your account doesn't get banned (https://www.reddit.com/r/Adblock/comments/17rluvd/purging_caches_refreshing_in_ublock_on_firefox/) because you seem like the guy who has no idea what is he doing. - Rated 5 out of 5by PZera, 7 months agoFirst i was puzzled, didnt work of course, but now i got it straightened up on Opera & Fox, i got them both working like a charmed!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mizuki, 7 months agoUsed to work fairly well, now refuses to work without payment and wants access to information about every website you visit.
Use Ublock instead - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18133773, 7 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by MisterOwl, 7 months agoI've been using the extension with Chrome and Vivaldi. It's been working very well. The quick pauses as the extension does its work are usually so short that I barely notice them. Maybe once per day, I'll see the first full second of an ad.
Accepting ads and keeping them out of the user's way is an elegant solution to the problem. I hope the developers can keep the extension working as intended.Developer response
posted 7 months agoPlease upgrade the extension to v2.1 (Chrome) so as to lower the frequency of the donation popups, they were fixed not to be incessant. - Rated 5 out of 5by kazumi111, 7 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by VoltageEfflux, 7 months agoAdblocker that advertises to you and the developer doesn't see the irony in this and decided to cancel support after the next update because not enough people purchased something that they installed specifically to avoid paying for a service; Proving their hesitance to pay was justified due to the lack of guaranteed support in the future.
(By the way, you may want to remove that soon, because it's literally an option that's able to be selected when reporting an add-on to Mozilla: "It contains spam or inserts unwanted advertising Example: Insert ads on webpages"
The use of overlaying a payment window also isn't stated in the add-on description, it simply states that the add on "uses extensionpay.com as a payment processor integrated with Stripe for obtaining a one-time lifetime license after an initial free trial period", no where does this state that the add-on will be overlaying this by force; this violates the "No surprises" Mozilla Add-on Policy which specifies "Users should be able to easily discern what the functionality of your add-on is and should not be presented with unexpected user experiences after installing it." )
