✨ KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚫 Multi-layer ad blocking
Uses three independent interception layers working together to ensure effective blocking even when YouTube updates its ad system:

• Intercepts ad data before the first page render.
• Modifies network requests in real time so the YouTube server returns clean responses directly, without needing to process or remove the ad afterwards.
• Neutralizes the Google ad SDK (IMA3) to completely eliminate pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ads.

🎯 Overlay and banner removal
Automatically detects and removes all visual advertising elements that appear over the video or on the page: skip overlays, side banners, search result ads, promoted videos and more.

🔄 Automatic recovery system with 6 strategies
If YouTube tries to bypass the block on a specific video, the extension automatically rotates through 6 different strategies until it finds the one that works, without you having to do anything.

📺 Floating Video (Miniplayer)
Want to keep watching your video while browsing YouTube? Enable the floating miniplayer and drag the player to any corner of the screen. It snaps automatically to the edges to stay out of the way.

⚡ Instant activation from the popup
Control everything with two simple toggles from the extension icon in your browser toolbar. No further configuration needed.

🟢 Active site indicator
The popup always shows whether the extension is protecting the active YouTube tab, with a green visual indicator.

💾 Settings saved automatically
Your preferences are saved in the browser. Every time you open YouTube, the extension will already be configured as you left it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ WHAT IT BLOCKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ Video ads (pre-roll, mid-roll, post-roll)
✅ Skippable and non-skippable ads
✅ Banners and overlays over the video
✅ Ads on the YouTube homepage
✅ Promoted videos in search results
✅ Masthead ads (top banner)
✅ Ads in playlists

📖 HOW TO USE THE EXTENSION — Mini Tutorial
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Step 1 — Install the extension
Click "Add to Chrome" on this page. Chrome will ask for confirmation; accept. The extension installs in seconds and is ready to use immediately.

Step 2 — Open the popup

Click the extension icon to open the control popup.

Step 3 — Control ad blocking
Inside the popup you will see two toggles:

When enabled (red), the extension automatically blocks all YouTube ads. You can disable it if you want to watch a specific channel with its ads to support it. When you change this toggle, open YouTube tabs reload automatically to apply the change.

🔴 Show Floating Video
When enabled, the YouTube player can become a floating miniplayer that remains visible while you browse other pages or sections of the site. You can drag the miniplayer to any position on the screen.

Step 4 — Browse YouTube ad-free
Done! Open YouTube and play any video. The extension works in the background completely silently. You will see no ads and receive no annoying notifications.
