YouTube Adblock Bypass is a Firefox extension that changes your User-Agent string on YouTube to imitate a Windows Phone, enabling the bypass of YouTube's ad block ban. It also redirects mobile YouTube links to their desktop counterparts, ensuring the use of the desktop layout. It is recommended to use an ad blocker alongside this extension, as the Windows Phone User-Agent doesn't load most editions.

TamperMonkey stopped working after Youtube looped it into its adblock ban script, so I couldn't use that to unlock age restricted videos anymore (instead of forking over my government ID like some idiot for them to sell to advertisers lol). Thanks to this extension, TM works again like a charm! Great work!
