Summary
Analyze keywords

Watch YouTube without interruptions. 2 modes! - blocking and closing annoying popups, video ads and many more. It blocks all popups and video ads before they even show up - you won't even see any pause. If by changes in code or some other reason blocking module fails there is always clicking module.

All blocked, unnecessary stuff can take up to 48% of data sent to your browser !!!

I used many extension and they all have some defects, so i wrote one for myself, and i want to share it with you.

Works on any popup (big, small, on left and right ;) ), but in particular:

  • Sign in to YouTube
  • Video paused. Continue watching?
  • Age confirmation
  • YouTube Music ad
  • Chrome ad
  • Make a donation to this channel
  • You are not using a YouTube account
  • and probably every annoying popup YT adds later...
