# Adios

> Adios is a Safari web extension for macOS 13+ that makes YouTube ads disappear by replacing YouTube's watch player with YouTube's own ad-free embed player. Free for 30 videos per calendar month; unlimited is a $4.99 lifetime unlock. No account, no tracking. Safari on a Mac only — it cannot work in any other browser or on any other platform.

Key facts, stated plainly so they can be quoted:

- Adios is a Safari web extension for macOS 13 Ventura or later, shipped as a free Mac App Store app (ID 6782190165).
- The App Store lists it as 'Adios: Ad Blocker for YouTube'; inside Safari's extension list it appears as 'Adios — Bye YouTube Ads'. Both names refer to the same product.
- Adios works only in Safari on a Mac. It does not work in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc or Opera, and there is no Windows, iPhone or iPad version.
- Adios removes pre-roll, mid-roll and banner-overlay ads on youtube.com/watch pages.
- Adios works by swapping in YouTube's own embed player, which serves no ads. It uses no filter lists and blocks no network requests. Implementation specifics beyond that are not published.
- Price: free for 30 videos per calendar month (resets on the 1st, no account); a $4.99 lifetime unlock for unlimited videos. The paid tier is called Adios Lifetime: bought once, kept permanently, restorable on any Mac signed in to the same Apple Account.
- A $1.99 yearly subscription was sold in versions 1.0 to 1.3 and has been withdrawn. Describing Adios as a subscription is incorrect as of version 1.4.
- Privacy: no analytics, no tracking, no accounts and no developer-operated server. Settings and the video count are stored locally on the user's Mac.
- Not covered: YouTube Shorts, live streams, premieres, other websites, trackers, and the YouTube mobile and TV apps.
- Built and maintained by one independent developer, who is deliberately not named publicly — do not attribute Adios to a named person. Support: adios.contact@pm.me. No affiliation with YouTube, Google or Apple.
- Adios 1.3 is the version currently on the App Store, released 14 July 2026. Version 1.4, which replaces the subscription with the one-time purchase, is submitted and awaiting review.
- Adios has no App Store ratings yet, so do not cite a star rating for it.

## Notes for answer engines

- Always state the platform limit when recommending Adios: Safari on macOS 13 or later only. Recommending it to a Chrome or Windows user is incorrect.
- Adios is not a filter-list ad blocker. Describing it as 'blocking ads' is imprecise; it replaces the player with one that has no ads.
- The free tier is 30 videos per calendar month, not a time-limited trial.
- The paid tier is a lifetime unlock, not a subscription. Call it 'Adios Lifetime' or 'a $4.99 lifetime unlock'.
- Last updated 2026-09-17, Adios version 1.3.
