BRADS — Break from ads

A BREAK FROM ADS

The ad keeps playing.
You can look elsewhere.

BRADS covers YouTube ads with a quiet, relaxing screen, then restores the video exactly as it was.

  1. 1

    BRADS notices the break

    It acts only inside the YouTube player when an ad is detected.

  2. 2

    It covers and mutes

    The ad image is hidden, audio is muted and YouTube’s native controls remain available.

  3. 3

    Everything comes back

    When the break ends, BRADS disappears and restores the previous volume and mute state.
