    Once I figured out that it wasn't only uBlock Origin that was clashing with fadblock, but also the “block ads” aspect of Enhancer for YouTube™, it seemed to work perfectly.
    The only reason I can't give it a higher score (aside from the payment aspect), is that while I only had to disable one aspect of Enhancer to get fadblock working, none of Enhancer's features work while fadblock is working, and it's painful to lose Enhancer functionality.

    Like it overall, and I will purchase once I get the pop up, however performance on Firefox has become very poor on YouTube. The home page takes a while to load. Hopefully the developer is looking into it

    Yes, I am, Firefox has a lot of inbuilt controls as well as YouTube is injecting a ton of useless DOM objects just to make it harder which is causing performance problems.

    It works (at least on older versions) but why are the new updates trying to access my data for all websites? I do not trust you. You are a stranger. I am not updating the addon, STOP REQUESTING ALL MY DATA FOR ALL MY WEBSITES. You literally only need my data from YouTube, so you can block YouTube ads! Y'know, *what I got this addon to do!* Requesting my data for all my websites just makes me think this addon is malicious. Please stop.

    You're correct; it's not ideal. However, for payment gateway access, the extension currently needs to connect with Stripe.com, ExtensionPay, and internal API URLs. I'm planning to update the application to access specific URLs instead of all of them.

    I totally agree with Afzals review below. I dont know what happened (yes i know, new engine/fixes and something) but the versions after 1.3 are working randomly, but mostly not :( . And it doesn't matter what I do, (new, clean browser with 0 addons/testing on other computer/etc. etc.)

    The last version (1.3) will soon stop working because YouTube already patched it, it's not pushed globally yet so it's still working for some.

    Go to the FadBlock, and see if the counter is over 50, if it is, please update the version to 2.0 and it will remove the constant paywall mechanism.

    If not, please hop over to GitHub and report your issue and I will quickly fix it.

    It is fixed now. v1.6 works like a hot knife in butter.

    Generally works well, but it breaks Youtube video's Chapter List. The right pane won't show up unless I disable this extension.

    The next release will fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience

    Disappointed it is now charging to block ads in YT which feels weird given it's purpose. I was about to donate when I noticed this new payment update mechanism was added. Nothing in the description on the new price.

    Lastly, enable Mozilla to monitor it for security as most other add-ons.

    I didn't assume this extension will amass this huge an audience (>400K), I hope you understand how much time and energy it takes to maintain something like this where YouTube is actively trying to shut-out everything for such a large userbase while trying to work >80 hours on your own thing. If you are still not satisfied with the decision, you're happy to downgrade the version to 1.3 as I won't take anything down, it just won't be maintained. I think that is fair.

    It's currently priced at 5.99$ as a one-time lifetime license fee with guaranteed non-stop support for at least 12 months. That's 167.88$ for YouTube Premium, is that a deal-breaker for you?

    Thank you for the security advice, I will do that.

    Ok, this works, but not always. I still have some ads with only the sound on black screen, and when it works i have some strange pauses during the video.
