YouTube UnBlock

Status: I am no longer maintaining this repo as I have new projects I am working on. uBlock and AdGuard seem to get around all issues nowadays anywho.

❓ Is this blocker getting in the way?

🩹 Look no further, as here is a bandaid

The script DeBlock finds and removes the roadblock and embeds a better frame in place of YouTube videos. You are still on the official YouTube™️ webpage with full access to comments, likes, (borked playlists), and recommendations.

Note: I did not create any of the Sources nor do I have any affiliations with them. I only embed them into "youtube.com".

🚫 Ad-Blocker Recommendation

This script does not block ads, it only removes the block. I recommend uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes.

If you have the resources, I highly recommend AdGuard!

📂 GitHub Install

1. Install Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or any other user script manager.
2. Open the script: "YouTube-DeBlock.user.js"
3. Click the "Raw" button at the top right of the page, this should prompt the user script install page.

🍴 Greasy Fork Install

1. Install Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or any other user script manager.
2. Click install on the Greasy Fork webpage: YouTube DeBlock

🥫 Exceptions

This script will not run if a block is not detected. Meaning, if the script does not find a block, none of the script functions will do anything.

🏠 Custom Sources

• YouTube™ [Embed] - An official embed of the video.
• yout-ube.com - 3rd party, but some videos are age-restricted.
• NEW: piped.kavin.rocks - Currently page embed (no theater mode).
• NEW: subscriptions.gir.st - Currently page embed (no theater mode).

Some sources allow playback of age-restricted videos and blocked content.
