YouTube and Twitch
The real video plays. The ads never scheduled.
A MAIN-world script deletes the ad instructions from YouTube’s player response before the page can schedule them, so the video starts immediately. The player region is never touched, so playback and controls stay intact.
Three ways it keeps video clean.
Most of the work happens before an ad is ever scheduled. A safety net handles the rare one that slips through, and Twitch gets its own detection because its ads are stitched into the stream server-side.
Removed at the source
Strips adPlacements, adSlots, and playerAds from both the inline and /youtubei/v1/player responses. No pre-roll to skip because none is scheduled.
Skip assist as a safety net
Clicks visible skip buttons and fast-forwards any ad that slips past the pruner, and dismisses the anti-adblock enforcement popup, restoring scroll and playback.
Twitch stream ads
Detects the in-stream ad markers Twitch now stitches server-side to estimate saved time, and hides the ad-only feedback affordances without touching the live player.
The player is never in the way.
The helper only edits the ad instructions in the data the page receives. It does not overlay the video, swap the player, or fight the UI, so quality selection, captions, and seeking behave exactly as they should.
