- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13744103, 23 days agoEver 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by carolynk, 2 months agoAfter 2-3 months of youtube blocking ad blockers, I found fadblock. It's been installed for a month and works great.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jayel, 6 months agoIt requires great effort to contend with such a big corporate as YouTube. Keep up with your great work, Piyush!

- Rated 5 out of 5by dearhorse085, 6 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 6 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 5 out of 5by Pablo0390, 6 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, 6 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.

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 5 out of 5by PZera, 6 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 5 out of 5by MisterOwl, 6 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 6 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.
