The problem is not blocking the ads. I already do that. The problem is how to prevent YouTube recognizing my extension as an ad blocker

The problem is that I own an extension that blocks ads and is detected as an ad blocker. So, I am looking for a technical solution on how to prevent YouTube from detecting my extension as an ad blocker.

So, you stopped blocking ads and muted them instead?

I got the same answer from a friend of mine :) That's good for my but it does not help with my extension. I cannot tell the users go and use Brave. I am trying to find a way to avoid my extension being detected as an ad blocker

After 5 years, my extension Music Mode for YouTube™ had only 20,000 users. But in early September, it was featured on the Chrome Web Store homepage under "For music lovers" section, bringing in 10,000 new users in a month and driv

I think that you know that it does not work. First of all you don't declare what language it explains. Secondly, I tried the most simple example in the web app: to set a value to a variable. I tried "int i = 0;" and "var

There are two extensions in Firefox neither of which blocks the video. Music Mode for YouTube™ is the only extension that blocks the video entirely until now. These two extensions are Youtube Audio ( https://addons.mozilla.org&#x2

Music Mode for YouTube is the only browser extension that blocks the video. All the other extensions they don't use the video but the video is downloaded. You can check this in the dev tools and specifically in the network panel where

5 seconds is a lot of time. This shows that it has to load the video

by thunderarea 5y ago
As it says it does not load the video. But it downloads it. This file is from the Audio only YouTube extension

Ha ha ha. I think that they know them. But in desktop there are many ways to change it with extensions or even browsers other than Chrome. So they don't give it a try

It could. But it does not do it :)

Now that I know that there is the Show HN I will post it also there

You have a point on this

by thunderarea 5y ago
If so I think that is not an easy way to listen to music on YouTube if you have every time to download the song

You cannot play with a chapter of a book but it is acceptable. So, the "play" does not used with its exact meaning

by thunderarea 5y ago
"play" in this case does not imply that the product should be game or something like that but something that the user can interact with. From the Show HN rules: "On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in t

Yes. But they give you the API. This is the policy for the API. You can modify the files as you say but not using their API. You must find the way...

No. The extension is not fake. It changes the video source with the audio file URL but it does not blocks the video. The video file is downloaded but it is never used. That's what I said
26.
by thunderarea 5y ago
Is this a command in order to download the audio?
27.
by thunderarea 5y ago
But it is a good alternative for Firefox since Music Mode for YouTube is currently only for Chrome

by thunderarea 5y ago
sure

by thunderarea 5y ago
You can check in the dev tools that when you use audio only extension the video files are downloaded normally. So, it does not save so much bandwidth

Sorry but it does not do the same. It does not block the video. The video is downloaded but it does not used
