New Youtube Adblocker - GoodTube

Sick of seeing Youtube ads? Me too... I made a little plugin called "GoodTube" to fix this problem. It works for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. To install it, first install this browser extension "Tampermonkey" https://www.tampermonkey.net/ Once that's done, simply click on this link and to install the thing I made: https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js Basically it gets the videos from other servers (you can select from a whole bunch of em) and blocks all visible page ads. For anyone that wants to use it on a phone, I think you can make it work by uninstalling the Youtube app, adding this to chrome / firefox / whatever and then visiting the Youtube website from there. Works great as far as I can tell. If you have any problems, etc - please let me know. Features - ZERO ADS. The beloved algorithm / watch history and all that stuff still works. Keyboard shortcuts work. Subtitles work. Shorts are removed. Unwated search results are removed (i.e. "You might also like this, other people watched this and so on") Autoplay is supported. Playlists are supported. Thumbnails for other recommended videos that pop up when a video finishes are removed (I really hate these, try without it's nice). You can download the video or audio straight from the player! There's a little button at the bottom of the video to do it. (This will open the straight video / audio in a new tab. Then hit Ctrl+S to save it somewhere or press the 3 little dots on the video / audio and select "Download"). It'll tell you when there's an update and give you a little button that installs the latest version. Caveats - Currently servers will not give 1080p. Working on it, should be available pretty soon. Chapters are not yet supported, but again - working on it and should be done soon. Why? Well lately I've been raging as Youtube have successfully stopped most adblockers from working (or they only work sometimes). You've probably been experiencing this same nightmare on and off. If your adblocker is working, by all means use it, but if not - give this a try. I'll never pay a company that is slapping ads on one of the largest archives of music / film / art in the world and blackmailing me to remove them. They really have a social responsibility that isn't being taken seriously... So anyway, screw em. Install this little thing and happy days peeps 🎉 This took around 2 weeks to create and a thousand black coffees. I do hope you enjoy it. https://preview.redd.it/344a9cij2ixc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=e043d6a79801275ff12cde9585e4bf5a8a8a0fbc https://preview.redd.it/ocszpjij2ixc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7c874135348bbe5ed876c2ab0ebca901c3ca30b https://preview.redd.it/mjc45dij2ixc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=114cdfa7c7d1b4eec3c08659574ad4553370eab4 p.s. If you're a programmer and would like to help out, hit me up! There's some stuff I'd like to crack, for example how this amazing site works - https://skipvids.com/ - would love to reverse engineer it at some stage... submitted by /u/goodtube4you [link] [comments]
