Adblock in Cloudflare Zero Trust

This started as a “fine, I’ll automate it myself” project after manually updating lists to block unwanted resources in Cloudflare Zero Trust one too many times.

Now it just pulls the official OISD small list, handles Cloudflare limits automatically, updates the lists and keeps the blocking rule in sync. No more manual copy-pasting and cleanup.

Originally built for my own use, but I cleaned it up and thought maybe other Cloudflare Zero Trust users here might appreciate it too.

SponsorBlock wasn't catching everything for me, so I built an extension that combines 5 detection methods (Heatmap, Chapters, Timeline...) to skip YouTube sponsors.

Hey guys,

I wanted to share a free tool I've been working on called Sponsorless. The goal was to create the ultimate ad/sponsor skipping experience for YouTube by combining multiple layers of detection.

Here is how it works under the hood:

  • It integrates the SponsorBlock public API (huge thanks to their community).
  • It uses a Heatmap heuristic (analyzes the "most replayed" data to find valleys and peaks, automatically skipping boring sponsor segments).
  • It parses YouTube Chapters and description timestamps looking for ad patterns.
  • It skips standard Google Ads.

I also added a feature where you can choose to just "fast-forward" (up to 8x speed) the sponsor segment instead of skipping it entirely, which is great if you want to make sure the heuristic didn't skip real content.

Everything is stored locally (chrome.storage), totally private.

If anyone wants to test how it holds up against the current YouTube ad waves, here is the link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hmomgkigdemhaakjhemanocchicopaaj?utm_source=item-share-cb

Any feedback on the detection accuracy is highly appreciated!

Why doesn't everyone serve ads from the same domain just like YouTube?

Hey,

at this point it's well known that DNS ad blockers can't block YouTube's (or various streaming services') ads because they are served from the same domain like the actual content.

That begs the question why doesn't everyone serve ads this way if it's such an easy way to bypass DNS ad blockers?

Thanks!

AdBlock, FaceBook and Firefox.

Those are the programs/applications together I use on Linux Mint OS. When I turn on AdBlock it slows down the typing in comments on FB. Example I depress any key on the keyboard and it takes a second to display on the screen. Turn off AdBlock a keystroke displays immediately on the screen. I do notice an overall slow down on FB. AdBlock is uses to me.

Question about youtube on ipad lol

Hi all!

I have an issue on my iPad where I block ads in Safari on YouTube, and it leads to my home feed taking several tries to refresh to new videos (selected by the algorithm). I have to click "not interested" on a bunch of videos at a time because they appear over and over. If I don't do that, then I am looking at the same videos in the same order after refreshing.

Sometimes, closing out of Safari and reopening it does not fix it.

Just curious if anyone experiences this. TY
