DavidSkip the ads.Skip the AI.
David is a free browser extension that skips YouTube video ads and Reels ads, and takes AI-generated content off your screen. You keep scrolling; David does the skipping.
Free. No account. Updates itself. Works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi.
An ad, an AI video, then the real thing. No tapping.
Illustration: a short-video feed where David skips a sponsored ad and an AI-labeled video, then stops on a real video.

Why David
Big platforms fill your feed with ads and, more and more, with AI. David is the small tool that pushes back.
It skips instead of stalling
In Reels, Shorts and TikTok, an ad is skipped the moment it settles on screen, in the direction you were scrolling. You never land on a blank space.
It handles the AI flood
Ordinary ad blockers don't touch AI content. David hides AI answers, AI videos and AI buttons, and learns the channels that post AI videos.
You stay in charge
Turn any part off, pause David on any site, or switch auto-skip off to get a card with Skip and Watch buttons instead.
Private by design
No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your settings and counts stay in your browser. Read the privacy policy.
Better with every vote
After you've watched a video, mark it "This is AI", "Not AI", "This is an ad" or "Not an ad" from David's toolbar button.
Your votes always apply to you. If you choose to share them, anonymously, a video that people on at least three different networks agree on is handled for everyone using David. Sharing is off until you turn it on.
Keep David free
David has no ads, sells no data and costs nothing. If it makes your feed better, a coffee helps keep it updated as the sites change.
