Malicious Advertising pop-up/tab when Downloading Video - Switch API Provider? #36

Open Typical-Engineer opened 12 hours ago

Typical-Engineer commented 12 hours ago

I like this tools and it works pretty well but the advertising that pop up sometimes have been kind of scammy and borderline dangerous. I understand that Ad blocked should be used and help with that but the one I'm issue has issues sometimes.

I'm using the version from Greasy Fork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/460680-youtube-tools-all-in-one-local-download-mp3-mp4-higt-quality-return-dislikes-and-more

Is it possible to switch to using a different API like https://cobalt.tools/? https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt It looks like a better alternative with no advertising and works really quickly.

Thank you for creating this awesome extension!

I recommend using Adguard.

https://cobalt.tools/ yes it is possible to use that api but a new page would open to download mp4 or mp3

I will try to add that new api in a next update
