About FairSkip Ad Blocker for YouTube
Block YouTube ads automatically with one simple switch.
FairSkip is a focused ad blocker for YouTube™. It combines packaged request rules, local player-response filtering, display-ad hiding, and a visible-player fallback. It starts enabled and offers one master switch—no setup wizard or complicated modes.
FairSkip handles:
- supported pre-roll and mid-roll video ads
- banners, companion ads, overlays, and promoted feed cards
- supported ad entries in Shorts
- remaining detected ads using YouTube's Skip control or a playback-safe fallback
Privacy by design:
- access limited to supported YouTube and YouTube No-Cookie pages
- no account, analytics, tracking, server, or remote configuration
- no watched-video history, titles, searches, channels, or player responses stored or transmitted
- only the enabled/disabled preference is stored locally
- no acceptable-ads or paid-advertiser program
To provide blocking, FairSkip locally checks supported YouTube URLs, player responses, player ad state, and ad-related page elements. This information is processed on your device only and is never sent to the developer or any third party.
YouTube changes frequently, so an update may temporarily allow an ad through or affect playback. FairSkip does not download videos, unlock Premium features, or bypass login, purchase, age, region, or DRM restrictions.
