Free ad blocker with experimental video ad skipping
Test Pre-Roll Ad Skipping
This use case fits Microsoft Edge users who want a free content blocker and are comfortable testing an unfinished approach to video ads. It is triggered when YouTube or Dailymotion pre-roll ads interrupt viewing and ordinary page filtering is not enough.
The workflow is simple: install FixGuard, enable “Block video pre-roll ads” in settings, reload the video page, and watch several videos. A good result skips pre-roll ads while normal playback starts reliably, with feedback shared when loading, controls, or playback behave unexpectedly.
