Tips & Tricks – View YouTube videos without Ads

Yes, finally you can view YouTube™ videos without Ads.

I suggest you to install the ScrewAds extension/add-on for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox so you can view YouTube videos without Ads. ScrewAds skips and blocks the annoying video and image YouTube Ads automatically. Have a clean YouTube experience without VEVO ads and backgrounds, too.

You can donwoload it from the official website:
ScrewAds! – Block, Skip, Remove, and Replace, any and all YouTube™ Ads! Also gets rid of VEVO backgrounds.
or
search it in the
Chrome Web Store using Google Chrome
or
Add-ons for Firefox using Mozilla Firefox.

Google Chrome extension – “Download was not a CRX”

When you try to install a Google Chrome extension show the following error message:

An error has occurred
Download was not a CRX
RELOAD CLOSE

Download was not a CRX

Effect:
Not install the required extension.

Solution from your comments: (Prefered because it respects your privacy but not always works)
Open Google Chrome,
click the Chrome menu Google_Chrome_menu on the browser toolbar then select New incognito window
or
press Ctrl+Shift+N
then open the page of extension in this mode, if you don’t know the url you can copy and paste in the incognito window the following:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions
search the extension and click on ADD TO CHROME to install.

Note: If you chose this solution you have to repeat the above steps everytime you want to install a new extension because it will always appear the same error. Whenever, you have to open an incognito window.

My Solution:
Sign in into Google before to try to install an extension.

To Sign in or Sign up in to Google Chrome, open Google Chrome
click the Chrome menu Google_Chrome_menu on the browser toolbar then select Sign in to Chrome
or
using the following link:
Google Accounts
