YT Shield – Auto-Refresh for YouTube

About

**Tired of refreshing YouTube manually every time the video goes blank?**

YouTube detects ad-blockers and responds by blanking the video player — sometimes playing ad audio in the background — or showing a "An error occurred, please try again" message. The only fix is to manually refresh the page, every single time.

**YT Shield fixes this automatically.**

🔄 **Auto-Refresh on Error**
Detects YouTube's playback error overlay and refreshes the page automatically so your video resumes without any action from you.

📺 **Blank Video Detection**
Detects when the video player loads blank (YouTube's ad-blocker punishment) and triggers a refresh before you even notice.

⏸️ **Frozen Video Detection**
If your video stops progressing for more than 12 seconds, YT Shield refreshes the page to get it going again.

**Simple, focused, and private.**
One toggle. No ads. No data collection. No bloat. Just the one thing it's supposed to do, done well.
