Free ad blocker with experimental video ad skipping
Skip video pre-roll ads
Video ad skipping is for viewers who already block page ads but still encounter pre-rolls on YouTube or Dailymotion. The trigger is repeated interruption at playback, especially when a standard content blocker handles banners and trackers but does not reliably skip video ads.
The practical workflow is simple: enable the video pre-roll option, reload the site, and test several videos. A good outcome is faster, uninterrupted playback without broken controls, repeated loading, missed content, or a need to disable blocking for the whole site.

More about playback testing
Because video skipping is experimental, evaluate it as a playback test rather than a permanent fix. Compare reliability across normal videos, playlists, and repeated sessions before keeping it enabled.
- Record whether each pre-roll is skipped, shown, or replaced by a loading delay.
- Check seeking, captions, autoplay, and next-video playback for regressions.
- If playback fails, disable "Block video pre-roll ads," reload, and share the site and symptom.
