SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
- Live on Store
Skip sponsorships, subscription begging and more on YouTube videos. Report sponsors on videos you watch to save others' time.
Available on Firefox as well, visit my site: https://sponsor.ajay.app.
SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.
You can also skip over non music sections of music videos.
This is open source and the entire database is public.

Data usage explanations:
"Authentication Information": When you install the extension, it will generate a random "userID" that is used when submitting or voting. This allows you to appear on the leaderboard and helps determine reputation of submissions.
With this extension, you will automatically skip YouTube sponsors.

- One of the best thing someone can develop

- Works damn near flawlessly on youtube proper. However, I noticed that, even though I specifically toggled auto-skipping non-music sections on YT Music, I still have to manually skip them.

- most of timestamps made by people on this extension are sloppy af, and it doesnt give enough possibility to replace faulty timestamps by someone who actually cares

- It has some problems for me. The biggest is that it randomly makes chrome lag for me even though neither CPU or RAM shows any problems in task manager. I don't have dedicated RAM either. It lags even if it already have loaded so it isn't a network issue either. Sometimes it identifies things as ADs when it isn't but mostly it works fine. It's possible that it's conflcting with some other addon that I have enabled. I haven't trouble shooted it more than just turning it off.

- Doesn't work anymore :( Chrome.

- Perfect, I know it is not your focus but just to keep in mind somenthing relies in my mind, possibility to create "chapters" as we know chapters can ben foward with ctrl + arrows, so it is not that important but some channels did not create this timestamps so would be a good hidden feature.

- This extension works as intended, albeit my YouTube experience got a little slower since this thing needs to phone home first. Apart from that, I like how the crowd is supporting this project to help us viewers and encourage us to do the same for others. Having many different segments to skip is also considerate so we can pick and choose.

- Excellent program. I would also like a category for optionally skipping obnoxious/pointless burp and fart noises. Lil feature request there.
- Leander Berg
- Love it! Another option should be added: "mark as AI generated" so we can instantly see what not to watch!

- This is the greatest Youtube Extension ever. If the video you are watching has, say, more than 100k views and has a sponsorship it probably has been flagged. It works much, much better than you would expect.

- Almost as necessary as uBlock Origin. I hope there a feature can be added for users to flag pinned comments as sponsored and hide them.

- Is there any way to watch an auto-skipped section without hitting Unskip? Like by rewinding or clicking on the progress bar? Right now, it forces the skip and only lets me watch from after the section.

- Watching Youtube is enjoyable again with this extension.

- the "skip to highlight" feature alone is worth 5 stars

- Works well for the auto system id sponsors, but trying to submit a sponsor portion is not possible as once you click on the video time line to precisely establish the start/stop the extension pop up disappears using Brave Browser.

- This plug-in is an absolute must-have in an age of constant, mandatory in-video sponsorships which break immersion every single time
