About Lightweight - Youtube™ AdBlock

Adblock for YouTube™ is a browser extension that removes all types of ads on YouTube™. By preventing unwanted elements such as banners, ad clips, and preroll ads (those that appear before the actual video), it provides an uninterrupted browsing experience. ✓ Permissions: As with most ad-blocking extensions, we require default permissions on all websites to block ads or pop-ups, including those on embedded videos and YouTube itself. Key Features: - Blocks ads, banners, and pop-ups. - Prevents ads on external sites that load YouTube videos. - Stops preroll ads from loading before the main content on YouTube. - Allows you to remove annotations from videos and music (available in the options page). - Speeds up video loading and the overall YouTube website, making your browsing faster. The technology behind it uses ad-blocking filter lists that block external ad URLs on YouTube without altering the website itself. Adblock for YouTube™ also boosts performance by loading websites without ads or trackers. Privacy & Security: All ad-blocking processes happen locally on your computer. We do not monitor or track your activity. The extension’s code is open source and available under the GPL3 license. If you have any questions or need support, feel free to contact us! Download now and enjoy a cleaner, faster YouTube™ experience!
