✨Features

Feature Details
🚫 Ad Skipper Auto-skips skippable & unskippable ads, closes banners/overlays, mutes non-skippable ads
SponsorBlock Skips or mutes 9 segment types: sponsor, selfpromo, interaction, intro, outro, preview, music_offtopic, filler, exclusive_access
🎥 Auto HD Quality Forces highest available quality (4K → 1440p → 1080p) on every video load
HD Downloader One-click download of the current video in HD/4K
🛡 Adblock Bypass Dismisses YouTube's adblock enforcement popup automatically
📊 Stats Panel Floating draggable panel shows live ad skip count + sponsor segment count

🖥 How It Works

EasyTube adds a small floating YouTube-logo toggle button to the bottom-right of every YouTube page.
Click it to open the control panel, where you can individually toggle each feature ON/OFF:

  • Ad Skip — enable/disable ad skipping
  • SponsorBlock — enable/disable sponsor segment skipping
  • Quality — enable/disable auto-HD forcing

The panel also shows the current video title, video ID, and a Download HD button.


⚙️ Technical Details

  • Ad skipping method — adapted from tientq64/Auto-Skip-YouTube-Ads (MIT, 57k+ installs). Clicks skip buttons + seeks to end + mutes unskippable ads + closes overlays.
  • SponsorBlock — uses the SponsorBlock public API (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Implements SHA-256 hash-prefix privacy endpoint so your exact videoID is never sent to the server.
  • Quality control — hooks into YouTube's native movie_player API (getAvailableQualityLevels, setPlaybackQuality).
  • Download — opens the current video in a 3rd-party converter service.
  • SPA navigation — MutationObserver + yt-navigate-finish event keep everything in sync as YouTube navigates without full page reloads.

📦 Compatibility

Manager Status
Tampermonkey (Chrome/Firefox/Edge) ✅ Fully tested
Violentmonkey (Chrome/Firefox) ✅ Fully tested
Greasemonkey (Firefox) ⚠️ Not tested

🔒 Privacy

  • No data collection. EasyTube never sends any user data anywhere.
  • SponsorBlock requests use SHA-256 hash prefix — only the first 4 hex characters of the video ID hash are sent, so the server cannot reconstruct the exact video you're watching.
  • No external analytics, no telemetry, no tracking scripts.

📋 Changelog

v2.0 — Current

  • Full SponsorBlock category support (9 categories incl. filler, exclusive_access)
  • mute actionType support (segments can now be muted instead of skipped)
  • SHA-256 hash-prefix privacy endpoint for SponsorBlock
  • Adblock enforcement popup bypass (TheRealJoelmatic method)
  • Draggable floating panel with Mac-style toggles
  • Toast notifications for each action
  • Proper SPA navigation detection (yt-navigate-finish + MutationObserver)
