Browser Extension
AdBlock-Maxxer
0
ads · every browser
The ad blocker they couldn't ban.
One extension. Four browsers. YouTube, Spotify, Twitch + 21,370 filter rules — and Twitch quality comes back to source after each break (optional auto-downgrade lock).
YouTube showing ad-walls? Get the companion (.exe) → Optional — only if your YouTube account black-screens videos or shows an "allow ads" wall. Double-click to run; nothing to install. Windows may show an "unknown publisher" notice the first time — that's expected for a new indie tool; click More info → Run anyway. Everything else works with just the extension above.
How to use it
Sideloaded in 30 seconds. No store needed.
-
Load it once — that’s the whole install
Download the zip, unzip it somewhere you’ll keep, open chrome://extensions (or brave:// / edge://), flip on Developer mode, click “Load unpacked,” and pick the folder. It’s not on the Web Store on purpose — that’s exactly how the big blockers got gutted. No store account, no silent auto-update spyware; filter lists still refresh on their own weekly.
-
One popup, every toggle
Click the icon and you get a live “ads skipped” counter, a one-click snooze, a pop-out floating panel, and a switch for each surface — YouTube extra-skip, Spotify mute, Twitch points, SponsorBlock and more. Pause it on any single site without turning the whole thing off.
-
A real settings dashboard
Open the options page for the full kit: choose exactly which SponsorBlock segments to skip, add your own EasyList filter URLs, lock Twitch to source quality, turn on performance mode, watch your block stats, and export your whole setup to one file.
The coverage
Four browsers. One blocker.
01 · The Ban
Loads where uBlock got locked out.
Google killed Manifest V2 — the thing the old blockers were built on — so they got gutted on Chrome and refused to install on Edge. AdBlockMaxxer is written native to Manifest V3, so it loads on all four major browsers without the "unsupported" wall.
02 · The Quality
Twitch ads gone. The quality comes back.
Most Twitch blockers "work" by quietly leaving you on a low-res ad-free feed — you lose the ad and the quality. AdBlockMaxxer swaps in a backup stream to hide the break, then restores your source quality once it's over (a brief dip during the swap is normal). An optional quality lock keeps Twitch's auto-quality from downgrading you the rest of the time.
03 · The Refresh
YouTube that doesn't lock up.
The hacky way to skip a YouTube ad is to race the skip button — which is exactly why mobile YouTube freezes and makes you refresh. We delete the ad slots from the player response before the player ever sees them. No race, no frozen frame.
04 · The Reclaim
When YouTube enforces ads server-side, take the video back.
YouTube is rolling out server-side ad enforcement: flagged accounts get a black screen or an "allow ads" wall, and the ad is welded to the stream on Google's servers — so stripping it in the browser just turns the video off. No extension alone can win that, full stop. The optional YouTube Reclaim companion runs locally, fetches the same video ad-free, and plays it inside the normal YouTube page — search, comments and recommendations all stay native. Pick 1080p/4K, turn on captions, scrub freely. It's a single double-click: grab the companion .exe (Python and yt-dlp are baked in — nothing to install), and it runs invisibly, optionally auto-starting on login.
05 · The Phone
Your phone, too — by filter list.
Mobile browsers can't run extension code, so the YouTube player-strip and Twitch quality-swap are desktop-only — and we won't pretend otherwise. But Brave on Android and iOS both take a custom filter list. Paste ours in under Shields → Content filtering and it blocks ad and tracker domains across the whole web — display ads, trackers, Spotify-web and SoundCloud ads included — and auto-refreshes. The one honest limit: YouTube video ads stay unblockable on any phone.

Three questions you were going to ask anyway
How do I install it?
Download the zip, unzip it somewhere you'll keep it, then open chrome://extensions (or brave:// / edge://), turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and pick the unzipped folder. A welcome tab opens and you're blocking. Takes about thirty seconds.
Why isn't it on the Chrome Web Store?
A YouTube and Twitch ad blocker on the store is a takedown waiting to happen — that's exactly how the big blockers got gutted. Self-hosting the build sidesteps the store's veto entirely. The trade-off is no silent auto-update; the popup flags you when a refresh is worth running, and filter lists update weekly on their own. Firefox gets a one-click signed build shortly.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — add our mobile filter list. In Brave (Android or iOS): Settings → Brave Shields & privacy → Content filtering → Add custom filter list, and paste https://dl.maxxtopia.com/adblockmaxxer-mobile.txt. It blocks ad and tracker domains across the web — display ads, trackers, Spotify-web and SoundCloud ads — and auto-refreshes. Mobile browsers can't run extension code, so the YouTube player-strip and Twitch swap stay desktop-only, and YouTube video ads remain unblockable on any phone. Honest reach over marketing reach.

Different surface. Same standard.
PC Tuning
Optimizationmaxxing
The only Windows tuner that shows its work. Every tweak traced to a Microsoft Learn doc or a vendor whitepaper. One UAC prompt applies the whole preset. Snapshot-backed revert, any tweak, any time.
Communication
Discordmaxxer
Stock Discord uses 1,041 MB on this machine. Ours uses 288. Same servers, same friends, same pings — we just stripped the part where it pretended to be a browser running a chat app.
