What is AdsByPasser?

AdsByPasser is a free browser userscript that automates the tedious parts of link-shortener and file-hosting pages: it skips countdown timers and "continue" interstitials, and blocks the ad pop-up windows those pages tend to open. It runs inside a userscript manager in your browser, so it works as you browse rather than as a separate app or service.

Its own description is blunt about the limits: it cannot solve reCAPTCHAs. If a site gates content behind a puzzle you have to solve yourself, the script won't get you past it. It's a convenience tool for mechanical waits, not a paywall or CAPTCHA breaker.

What it actually does

• Skips countdown ads and auto-clicks through "continue" pages.
• Suppresses pop-up ad windows.
• Supports a long list of specific sites, mostly link shorteners (adfoc.us, ouo.io, gplinks.co) and image hosts (imgbb.com, imgbox.com, imagevenue.com).

Full vs. Lite

Nightly builds of both editions exist if you want the newest site fixes before they reach the stable installs. Settings are configurable from a dedicated configuration page, and bugs or feature requests go through the project's GitHub repository.

Practical next step

Before installing, check the supported-platforms page to confirm your browser and userscript manager are covered, then check the supported-sites list for the specific site you're dealing with — that list is the real deciding factor, since coverage is site-by-site rather than universal. If your main annoyance is an image host, the Full edition is the relevant one; if it's a link shortener, either edition works.

How do I install AdsByPasser on my browser?

Install AdsBypasser by adding its userscript to a userscript manager, then choosing either the Full or Lite edition. The project page at AdsBypasser lists four install options: Full, Lite, Full Nightly, and Lite Nightly.

Step-by-step

1. Install a userscript manager in your browser (for example, Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey). AdsBypasser's own page links to a supported-platforms page, so check that your browser/manager combination is listed there before installing.
2. Open the AdsBypasser page and pick an edition:
   • Full — includes support for image-hosting sites.
   • Lite — removes image-hosting site support, intended for people who already use another userscript for those sites.
3. Click the corresponding install link. Your userscript manager should open an installation prompt; confirm it.
4. Optionally install the Nightly build instead if you want the newest changes rather than the stable release. Nightly builds can be less tested.
5. After installation, visit the configuration page linked from the project page if you want to adjust behavior. The page also hosts a "Report Bug / Request Feature" link via GitHub.

What it does and doesn't do

The script skips countdown ads or "continue" pages and prevents ad pop-up windows. It explicitly cannot solve reCAPTCHAs, so any site gating content behind a CAPTCHA still requires you to solve it manually.

A practical example

If you frequently open links from file-hosting or link-shortener domains, the Full edition saves you the repeated wait-and-click cycle. If you already run a dedicated image-host userscript, the Lite edition avoids overlapping features.

Decision criterion

Choose Full unless you have a specific reason to avoid its image-host handling; choose Lite only when you're deliberately delegating that job to another script.

What is the difference between the Full and Lite editions of AdsByPasser?

The Lite edition removes image-hosting site support that is included in the Full edition. In practice, that means the Full edition tries to handle both link/ad gates (countdowns, continue pages, pop-ups) and image hosts, while the Lite edition focuses on the link/ad-gate side and leaves image hosts to other userscripts.

What changes in practice

• Full edition: broader coverage. It includes support for image-hosting sites alongside the usual ad-gate skipping. Use it if you want one script to handle both link shorteners/continue pages and image hosts.
• Lite edition: narrower coverage. It strips image-hosting support, so it is better if you already use another userscript for image hosts and do not want overlapping behavior.
• Nightly builds: available for both editions. They are for testing newer changes, so expect less stability than the regular installs.
• Core limits: neither edition solves reCAPTCHAs. The page states this limitation directly.

How to choose

1. If you regularly encounter image-hosting pages and want AdsBypasser to handle them, choose the Full edition.
2. If you prefer to keep image-host handling separate, choose the Lite edition to avoid duplicate or conflicting scripts.
3. If you want the newest fixes and can tolerate breakage, try the Nightly version of either edition; otherwise use the regular install.

Does AdsByPasser work on sites like adfoc.us, ouo.io, and linkify.ru?

Yes. AdsBypasser explicitly lists adfoc.us, ouo.io (and its mirror ouo.press), and linkify.ru among its supported sites. Those are exactly the kind of "countdown ad" or "continue" interstitials the script was built to handle: it skips the timer and jumps you to the destination page, and it blocks the pop-up windows these services spawn.

H3 What it can and cannot do

• Can: skip countdown ads and "continue" pages, and prevent ad pop-up windows.
• Cannot: solve reCAPTCHAs. If a link shortener gates the destination behind a CAPTCHA, AdsBypasser will get you past the timer but you'll still have to solve the challenge yourself.

H3 Full vs. Lite

The Lite edition removes image-hosting site support from the Full edition. Since adfoc.us, ouo.io, and linkify.ru are link shorteners rather than image hosts, either edition should cover them — the choice matters only if you also want the script to handle image hosts like imgbb or imagevenue.

H3 Practical next step

Install the edition that matches your needs, then check the supported-platforms page to confirm your browser and userscript manager are covered. If a specific shortener stops working, the project accepts bug reports and pull requests via GitHub, so that's the place to flag it. For a quick sanity check, open one of the three links and watch whether the countdown is skipped and no new tab pops up.

Can AdsByPasser bypass reCAPTCHAs?

No. AdsBypasser's own page states that it cannot solve reCAPTCHAs. Its focus is on skipping countdown ads and "continue" pages, and on preventing ad pop-up windows.

What it does instead

The script targets the mechanical friction around link shorteners and file hosts: waiting out timers, clicking through intermediate pages, and closing or blocking pop-ups. That covers a large share of the annoyance on sites like adfoc.us, ouo.io, gplinks.co and similar shorteners listed as supported. CAPTCHAs sit outside that scope because they are designed to require a human judgment call, and the project treats them as unsolvable by the script.

Practical consequences for you

If a link goes through a shortener that only uses a countdown, the script typically gets you to the destination with little input. If the same shortener throws a reCAPTCHA, you still have to solve it yourself; the script may have already removed the timer and pop-ups, so the remaining step is just the challenge.

A few things worth knowing before installing:

• Two editions. The Full edition includes support for image-hosting sites; the Lite edition drops that. Choose Lite if you already use another userscript for image hosts and want to avoid overlap.
• Stable vs. nightly. Both editions have nightly builds, which suit people who want fixes for newly changed sites sooner and accept occasional breakage.
• Settings exist. The project points to a configuration page, so you can tune behavior rather than accept defaults.
• Platform support varies. Check the supported platforms page against your browser and userscript manager before assuming it will run.

Next step

Install the Lite or Full edition depending on whether you need image-host handling, then test it on one shortener you use often. If a specific site still shows a reCAPTCHA, that is expected behavior, not a misconfiguration — solve it manually and move on. For issues or feature requests, the project directs users to its GitHub repository.

How can I report a bug or request a new feature for AdsByPasser?

Use the project's GitHub issue tracker at GitHub: open the adsbypasser/adsbypasser repository and choose the issue option to report a bug or request a feature. The project page itself states that feature requests and bug reports are welcome and that GitHub is the place to submit issues or send pull requests.

Before you post

• Check the supported-sites list first; if the site you're asking about isn't listed, a request to add it is a different kind of issue than a broken bypass.
• Reproduce the problem once more and note the exact URL, your browser, and which userscript manager you use.
• Decide whether you're reporting a failure (something that used to work, or should work) or proposing an addition (a new site, a new setting).

What to include in a bug report

• The page URL where the problem happens.
• Steps that reliably trigger it, in order.
• What you expected versus what actually happened.
• Whether you're on the Full or Lite edition, and whether the nightly build behaves the same.
• Any error messages from your browser console, if you can capture them.

What to include in a feature request

• The site or behavior you want handled, with a sample link.
• Why the current script can't handle it — for example, a countdown, a pop-up window, or a redirect chain.
• Whether you'd accept it only in the Full edition; the Lite edition deliberately drops image-hosting support, so that distinction matters for image hosts.

A practical next step If you're unsure whether your issue is already known, search existing issues for the site's domain before opening a new one. If you can also write the fix, the project accepts pull requests — that's usually faster than waiting.

One trade-off to keep in mind: the script skips countdowns and continue pages and blocks pop-ups, but it cannot solve reCAPTCHAs. If your "bug" is a captcha prompt, that's expected behavior, not something a report will change.
