Description

This is a browser extension to remove banner and display ads from the YouTube website and embed advertisements from YouTube's HTML5 and Flash players. Please note that is not a general-purpose adblocker. This extension only removes advertisements on YouTube web pages.

Compare to an AdBlocker, this extension is very lightweight in terms of memory and resource usage. If you have a slow computer and you would like to ads to be gone, use this extension.

Technical notes:
The observer of this extension only works when you have at least one YT web page. Also, it only has two regular expression rules to improve the performance and prevent the observer from slow down your browser (compare it with hundreds of rules a general-purpose adblocker needs to install to operate).

Permissions Explained:
Although this extension only works on YT pages, it still requires all "hostnames" permission. This is a must-have since the origin of the advertisement could vary by your location (localized hostnames).

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
