A tiny browser creature that eats ads for a living — an installer + browser ad-blocker extension.
Chomper is a lightweight ad-blocking project that combines:
- A desktop installer (Python based)
- A browser extension Chomper blocks ads with high accuracy on major video-streaming sites (yes… yt 😉), while staying lightweight and unobtrusive.
Most ad blockers are heavy, complex, or intrusive. Chomper focuses on:
- Efficiency: Keeps yt watch sessions clean by quietly chomping through ads
- Simplicity: Easy to install and use, with no unnecessary configuration
- Clarity: A clean and well-organized structure that is easy for both users and developers to understand
