AdsBypasser

A lightweight userscript that automatically skips countdown ads, bypasses continue pages, and prevents ad pop-up windows on many supported sites.

Install releases and read docs on the project's Homepage.

Features

• ✅ Skip countdowns and "continue" redirect pages where possible
• ✅ Prevent common ad pop-up windows/overlays
• ✅ Site-specific handlers for many domains (see Supported Sites)
• ✅ Lightweight client-side userscript — no analytics or phoning home
• ❌ Does not bypass reCAPTCHA or other interactive bot checks

Reporting Issues

When opening an issue for a broken/missing site handler, please include:

1. A reproducible example URL (or local HTML if protected)
2. Browser + userscript manager + script version
3. Console errors and expected behavior

Adding Site Support

To add support for a new site:

1. Create a new file in src/sites/{category}/{domain}.js
2. Follow the pattern in existing site handlers
3. Add JSDoc comments with @domain annotations
4. Test your implementation

If you need help implementing a handler, tag the issue or PR and request guidance — maintainers and community members can advise.

Troubleshooting

Q: Why doesn't AdsBypasser bypass reCAPTCHA?

A: reCAPTCHA is an interactive bot check and is intentionally not bypassed.

Q: AdsBypasser doesn't work on a page — what now?

A: Open an issue with the URL, userscript version, browser and a short description; attach console output if available.

Q: How do I update the script?

A: Userscript managers automatically update scripts. You can also manually check for updates in your manager's dashboard.
