The Adblocker For Youtube is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that is installed in the form of a Web browser extension. According to its official website, the Adblocker For Youtube may be compatible with Google Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. The extension is meant to enhance the user's online video viewing experience by getting rid of the advertisements displayed around and inside YouTube videos. For example, YouTube relies on the Google Ads, as well as video ads that may appear at the start of every video, and the Adblocker For Youtube is meant to get rid of this content. However, judging by the comments on the extension's official website, the Adblocker For Youtube does not work as expected and users continue seeing the ads that were supposed to be gone.
The good news is that although the Adblocker For Youtube may be dysfunctional, it does not seems to have any negative effects on the Web browser it has been added to. It is not uncommon for software of this sort to introduce a new homepage or default new tab page, as well as to insert additional ads in opened Web pages. Thankfully, in its current state, Adblocker For Youtube does not appear to perform any of the mentioned actions, and users will not be troubled by the presence of this software. However, it is possible that the Adblocker For Youtube may work in the background and collect data about the user's Web browsing habits, and this data may then be provided to 3rd-party advertisers and marketing agencies affiliated with the Adblocker For Youtube.
Overall, the Adblocker For Youtube is not that useful, and users who are looking to remove ads can do so by taking advantage of the services offered by more popular and reputable Web browser extensions. Removing Adblocker For Youtube is not a bad idea, but it is not mandatory since the extension does not seem to cause any issues.
