👋 Bye-Bye YouTube Ads

A razor-focused YouTube Ad Blocker script that makes YouTube video ads disappear—so you can dive straight into your favorite content without wasting a second.


ℹ️ What It Does

• Instantly skips video ads on `www.youtube.com`
• Desktop-only (we stripped out Music, Shorts, Studio) to stay lean
• Ultra-lightweight: one MutationObserver, no heavy loops or timers
• Undetectable by YouTube’s ad-block checks—runs quietly in the background


🦄 Why It’s Better Than Most?

1️⃣ Single-Purpose Efficiency
Many ad-skippers pack in extra features (banner blockers, Mobile/Music support) that slow things down. Bye-Bye YouTube Ads does *one thing* and does it faster than the rest.

2️⃣ Minimal CPU Impact
Instead of polling every few milliseconds, we watch only for the exact DOM changes that signal an ad. That means your battery and CPU thank you.

3️⃣ Stealth Mode
YouTube’s anti-adblock defenses often flag bulky scripts. This one is so small and focused, YouTube never even notices.

4️⃣ Zero Maintenance
With only the core ad-skip logic, there’s less to break when YouTube updates their player. It’s easier to keep updated and reliable.


🐣 What It Doesn’t Do (By Design)

❌ Block side banners or sponsored cards
❌ Interfere with YouTube Music, Shorts, or Studio
❌ Load extra libraries or bloat your browser

By keeping it simple, we keep it fast—and you keep watching :)
