Add-on summary

FadBlock Origin is designed to monitor advertisements, automatically seek the ads and skip them on YouTube and YouTube Music as well. It's important to note that this doesn't classify as traditional ad blocking, as the ad content is technically "loaded".

Note: This new version uses extensionpay.com as a payment processor integrated with Stripe for obtaining a one-time lifetime license after an initial free trial period. The storage permission is for counting the "Blocked YouTube Ads".

It used to work really well like 3 months ago but it has not worked at all since then. When it does work its good but it will spam you with a popup telling you to buy it which is really annoying and makes me not want to buy it even more ESPECIALLY when it's not even working most of the time. I cannot recommend this extension at all in it's current state and with no updates or anything in the past 7 months I think it's safe to say this extension is dead.

It stopped working a few weeks or maybe a month ago and hasn't been updated. Just not skipping ads anymore. I tried uninstall and reinstalling it, but that didn't help

Fad block, itself, is awesome. Its such a great idea. And works most of the time. Its YouTube that is the problem because YouTube detects FB every time there is an ad, so it will block it every time. When this happens you have to manually refresh the page, and then video will continue playing. Its just a huge pain in the ass to have to continue doing that every time an ad comes on. I keep reporting to YouTube that Im not using an ad blocker. But every once in a while FB randomly stops working. But in this case, just delete and re-download and it will start working again. But other than that I have no complaints. Thank you to the developers for making this awesome extension.
