YouTube AdAway - A Lightweight YouTube Ad Skipper

YouTube AdAway is a Chrome add-on developed by elliot0412 that aims to provide a smoother YouTube watching experience while still supporting content creators. This lightweight tool takes a unique approach to ad blocking by finding and skipping ads instead of completely blocking them.

One of the standout features of YouTube AdAway is its comprehensive ad removal capability. It effectively removes all advertisements on YouTube, including non-skippable ads, ensuring an uninterrupted viewing experience. This is a great advantage for users who find ads to be disruptive.

Another notable feature is the AutoSkipping Toggle. This feature gives users the control to manually skip ads whenever possible by simply pressing the q key. It can be useful when the auto-skip feature is turned off or for those who prefer a more hands-on approach.

YouTube AdAway also boasts optimized performance. By utilizing MutationObserver, it instantly detects webpage changes, providing a modern and streamlined approach to ad skipping without unnecessary workload. This ensures top-notch performance while using the add-on.

Overall, YouTube AdAway is a valuable tool for YouTube users who want to enjoy their favorite content without being interrupted by ads. Its comprehensive ad removal, AutoSkipping Toggle, and optimized performance make it a worthy addition to any Chrome browser.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
