Can't recommend an extension that doesn't do the one thing it advertises that it can do.

who in the world need this useless buttons at the bottom of their screens? It's an adblocker, not video controller. Make the second extension for it and don't call it adblocker like wtf. Button that says "Remove ads"? Isn't that what adblockers do by default? Loop video? I can right click and press it on a video without this extension. Screenshot? Did you hear about print screen button? And options? Did you think that people wouldn't like these buttons and so you could add an option to remove them? 0/5 nice design decisions, good job at doing this nonsense

The extension works fine, I haven't noticed a single ad on youtube since the installation. The video control buttons are a bit of overhead though.

The toolbar hasn't been showing up for quite some time now, what happened? I find it very useful.

WinDefender just caught the trojan. idk what its about because isnt a trojan normally from hardware such as a usb hense "trojan"? some clarification would be great but also is it just part of the extension? probably not tho because windef caught it. but this is a interesting topic so let me know.

@m1-c2: Hello, this is the developer of the addon. We do NOT have any adware/malware inside the extension. There have been no updates since the initial publish date of Last update
Aug. 28, 2020 and the only feature this extension has = adblock + allows you to replay your favorite youtube videos.Let me check and see why WinDefender is flagging this extension.

@blacksay: If you're worried, just uninstall the extension for now. I'm trying to get Microsoft to review this extension and remove the malware flag because its a false positive.

Hiii, the extension was working nice and steady but like 3 hours ago windows defender detected a virus on it, specifically a bitcoin miner thing, and now it does that everytime i try to install it

@spike-spk: The extension hasnt been updated for 1 year+, I'm in the process of contacting Microsoft to review this software again to get the false positive flag removed.

@blacksay: Could you upload a screenshot of the false positive flag? I checked it on virustotal.com and the only flag I get is from https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/037ffbd101eb4690136ecd3abdd7346af59935c6b0c1beeb8b259107dcc04296?nocache=1 Ad-Aware , and Not Windows Defender

@free-simple-apps I'm wondering ... there is another extension with almost the same name (Adblocker for Youtube xideos) here which people are reporting as malicious. Ask posters to make sure which of the two they have.
