About Catalyst – Ad Blocker, Redirect & Popup Protection, Video Controls
Catalyst upgrades everyday browsing with smarter video controls, ad-free browsing, cleaner pages, and protection against popups, redirects, and unwanted downloads — all in one lightweight Chrome extension.
Why install Catalyst:
Catalyst is a suite of tools that enables premium web browsing and streaming where you can stay focused and in control. Instead of juggling multiple extensions, you get a single toolkit for playback precision, clutter reduction, ad and tracker filtering, popup defense, and download safety checks.
What Catalyst does:
1. Advanced video controls
- Change playback speed (Scale from 0.2x - 10x)
- Skip forward or backward by custom amounts (10secs, 1min, 20min - you decide!)
- Auto trigger Picture in Picture (PiP): watch a video from website A when viewing website B
- Auto trigger fullscreen view whenever a video starts playing
- Customize video brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness - without modifying the rest of the website! You can even boost your video player volume.
- Clip moments when streaming a video - click a button to screenshot the current frame of the video!
2. Page decluttering + AD blocking
- Hide common visual distractions like overlays, sticky bars, cookie confirmation prompts, newsletter and ads popups, and other clutter so pages are easier to read and use.
- Bypass YouTube AdBlocker detectors and Anti-AdBlocker barrier!
3. Popup and redirect protection
Blocks unwanted new tabs and suspicious redirect behavior triggered by scripts or forced link actions. Surf the web with a peace of mind.
4. Download protection workflow
Prevents unwanted downloads by adding a manual approval step for any downloads, so you can review potentially risky files before allowing them.
5. Highly configurable
Controls are configurable, features are easy to toggle, and settings persist across sessions. Don't like a feature within the suite of tools? Just disable it!
