2023-12-03 menelvagor The addon itself is great, but unfortunately it causes ublock Origin to be detected by youtube as of the time I am writing this review, so I cannot use it at the moment.

2023-03-19 Panka Can you add an option to set a smaller button, maybe with only the "shield" logo (maybe green/red)? In italian, the word "Ads" is mush longer, and so is the addon button
2023-03-09 dnamja After adding the line, *youtube.com/*&disableadblock=1, to ublock origin's whitelist, ads still show on channels that I haven't whitelisted with this add-on. It's nice that the add-on mutes ads and gives you the option to skip/block certain advertisers as well.
