YT Shield – Auto-Refresh for YouTube

ExtensionTools

Overview

Automatically refreshes YouTube when ad-blocker detection causes a blank video or playback error. Works on Chrome and Brave.

**Tired of refreshing YouTube manually every time the video goes blank?** YouTube detects ad-blockers and responds by blanking the video player — sometimes playing ad audio in the background — or showing a "An error occurred, please try again" message. The only fix is to manually refresh the page, every single time. **YT Shield fixes this automatically.** 🔄 **Auto-Refresh on Error** Detects YouTube's playback error overlay and refreshes the page automatically so your video resumes without any action from you. 📺 **Blank Video Detection** Detects when the video player loads blank (YouTube's ad-blocker punishment) and triggers a refresh before you even notice. ⏸️ **Frozen Video Detection** If your video stops progressing for more than 12 seconds, YT Shield refreshes the page to get it going again. **Simple, focused, and private.** One toggle. No ads. No data collection. No bloat. Just the one thing it's supposed to do, done well.
