29,000+
Network blocking rules that stop ad and tracker requests before they leave your browser.

Skip buttons clicked. YouTube ads are removed from the player data, not fast-forwarded.

Ways to make exceptions: allow a whole site, or just the one page you're on.
What Block Skip does
Blocking that works at every layer
Ads are blocked at the network, hidden in the page, and pruned out of YouTube's player. You decide where to make exceptions.
Clean pages, not just blank boxes
Cosmetic filters hide leftover ad slots from AdSense, Google Publisher Tags, Outbrain, Taboola and common publisher containers.
YouTube without interruptions
Ad placements are removed from YouTube's player responses before the page reads them. Nothing clicks skip or fast-forwards.
Allowlists you control
Support a site by allowing its whole domain, or keep an exception for one page. Manage everything from the popup or the settings page.
How it works
Three steps, then forget it's there
1
Install from Firefox Add-ons
One click on the Add to Firefox button. A short welcome page explains what Block Skip does and finishes setup.
2
Browse as usual
Ads and trackers are blocked on every site. YouTube plays straight through. There is nothing to configure.
3
Make exceptions when you want
Open the toolbar popup to allow the current site or page. Turn on auto-refresh and the page reloads for you.
Made for Firefox
Light on resources, light on your eyes
Block Skip runs quietly in the background. The popup and settings page share one warm palette, and a dark mode you can switch on from the popup keeps late-night browsing easy on the eyes.
About search. This add-on requests permission to update your default search engine to Google. Searches made through Block Skip use Google by Block Skip, served at search.blockskip.com. Firefox asks you to approve this when the add-on installs, and you can change your search engine at any time in Firefox settings. Details are in the privacy policy.
