📝 Introduction
This addon replaces the video player from this sides with the native player build-in into the browser or redirects directly to the source video. This has the advantage, that no advertising or popups are shown when trying to interact with the video (playing, skipping, ...) or some sites are showing them even if you do nothing. Additionally, this enables you to download the video by right-clicking it and just choose the download option.
How it works:
📥 Installation
Official browser stores
The best way to install the extension are the official browser extension stores:
- Firefox Addon Store (Firefox for Android is supported too!)
- Chrome Web Store
Manual installation
- Firefox (mv2)
- Download
stream-bypass-<version>-mv2.zipfrom the latest release and unzip it (e.g. with 7zip) - Go into your browser and type
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefoxin the address bar - Click the
Load Temporary Add-on...button and choose themanifest.jsonfile in the unzipped directory
- Download
- Chromium / Google Chrome (mv3)
As nearly every browser other than Firefox is based on Chromium, this should be the same for most of them
- Download
stream-bypass-<version>-mv3.zipfrom the latest release and unzip it (e.g. 7zip) - Go into your browser and type
chrome://extensionsin the address bar - Turn on the developer mode by checking the switch in the top right corner
- Click
Load unpackedand choose the unzipped directory
- Download

This table might not be 100% accurate, it isn't actively monitored if the addon works for every website!
Some sites put much effort in obfuscating their code / how they receive the video stream so that it simply cost too much time for me to reverse engineer it and find out how to bypass the native video player of the site.
🛠️ Building
If you want to build the addon from source and not using the way described in installation, follow the instructions.
Requirements:
npminstalled.- A copy of this repository and a shell / console open in the copied directory.
If the requirements are satisfied, you can continue with the following commands:
# install all dependencies
$ npm i
# build the extension and start it in a new firefox instance
$ npm run dev:firefox
# build the extension with optimizations to the .output/firefox-mv2 directory
$ npm run build:firefox
You can omit the :firefox suffix, then it's built for Chrome.
Install
If you want to use the addon in Chromium or any browser which is based on it, follow the steps in the manual installation. When using firefox, use the following:
- Type
about:debuggingin the browser's address bar. - Select 'This Firefox' tab (maybe named different, depending on your language).
- Under
Temporary Extensions, clickLoad Temporary Add-on. - Choose any file in the directory where the compiled sources are.
⚙️ Settings
You reach the settings by pressing the tree dots (⋮) in the top right corner of the extension popup.
Hosts
You can enable or disabled for which hosts the extension should redirect.
