A multi-browser addon / extension for multiple streaming providers which redirects directly to the source video.
Introduction 📝 • Installation 📥 • Features ✨ • Supported Websites 📜 • Building 🛠️ • Settings ⚙️ • License ⚖
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's working:
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
- Firefox
- Download
stream-bypass-<version>-mv2.zipfrom the latest release and unzip it (with 7zip or something like that) - 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
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 (with 7zip or something like that) - 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

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.
If you want to build the addon from source and not using the installation way, follow the instructions.
