Block Skip geliştiren: Block Skip

Block Skip helps you get past YouTube ads so you can get back to your video. It handles several player ad formats and checks for recognized video content to help avoid interrupting what you are watching. It also cuts down ads and page clutter on other websites.

What Block Skip does

On other websites, Block Skip stops requests to many known ad and tracking domains. It hides common ad containers, overlays, sponsored blocks, and empty spaces left behind. It can also hide many cookie consent banners and selected prompts that ask you to sign in or turn off ad blocking. It does not accept or reject cookie choices for you.

Features

• YouTube support: Handles several player ad states to help reduce interruptions while you watch.
• Ad and tracker blocking: Stops requests to many known ad and tracking domains as pages load.
• Page cleanup: Hides common ad containers, sponsored blocks, overlays, and leftover blank spaces.
• Cookie and prompt cleanup: Hides many banners and prompts without choosing cookie settings for you.
• Site and page exceptions: Allow a whole website or just one page when you need to.
• Popup controls: Add or remove an exception for the current site or page, reload it, or open Settings.
• Saved lists: Review and change your site and page exceptions in Settings.
• Automatic reload: Choose whether popup allowlist changes reload the current page.
• Dark mode: Switch the popup and Settings to a darker appearance.

Who it's for

Block Skip is for people who want fewer interruptions on YouTube and fewer ads on news sites, blogs, and other pages. You can allow individual sites when you want their advertising requests to load.

Using exceptions

Allowlist entries control network blocking. Page cleanup checks exceptions when a page loads, so reload after changing one. YouTube player ad handling stays active on allowlisted pages.

Search choice

Block Skip also expands your search options with Yahoo by Block Skip. Firefox asks during installation before setting it as your default search engine. You can decline or choose another default later in Firefox Settings. Searches with Yahoo by Block Skip go directly to Yahoo. They do not go through a Block Skip server, and the addon does not see your search terms.

Privacy

Block Skip saves your allowlists, appearance preference, automatic reload preference, and setup completion in Firefox. It sends an installation report and a search acceptance report to api.blockskip.com only if you allow Firefox's optional technical and interaction data permission. The setup page does not grant that permission.

Each report includes its event type, the fixed extension ID, extension name and version, browser name and version, whether Yahoo by Block Skip is recorded as your default, and the name of your current default engine. It can also include campaign codes when present: affiliate, offer, source, bid, and sub IDs.

Block Skip keeps its setup and attribution values in Firefox and does not write them to website cookies. Read the privacy policy at https://blockskip.com/privacy/.
