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.

Latest reviews
- (2024-11-18) Gregory Saenko (Green Eyesman): Отличная вещь. Не блокирует креативную рекламу от самих авторов, но зато убирает всю остальную бесполезную для пользователей рекламную похабщину. Такое бы ПО да еще и для Дзена. Если у кого-то расширение перестало работать: попробуйте его удалить и заново установить.
- (2024-11-17) R4M5EY: Перестал работать
- (2024-09-27) Jordan: This is awesome. at first it wasn't working but restarted youtube and it started working, so im happy now i don't have to be bothered with people mentioning sponsor's all i can say is thanks. This extension is great, never thought you could skip those sponsor stuff people always mentions just for money
- (2024-08-04) qinn1996: absolutely ESSENTIAL extension. I also recommend "uBlockOrigin", "AdBlock" and "Adguard", all very good ad blockers. Also "YouTube nonstop", "return youtube dislike" "unhook" and "no youtube shorts". Makes for the perfect YouTube experience.
- (2024-03-20) DBL Upgraydez: I hate when it cleanly misses paid sponsorships! Yup, just plays smoothly through the green part of the bar. Nice! Seems to not recognize about half te segments, and u need to manually FF.
- (2024-02-26) ThunDerd: Works great for skipping stupid raid shadow legends sponsors, but sometimes just decides not to work randomly. Like some videos, it auto skips fine, and others it just takes the day off. And yes, I have the settings set to auto skip and sometimes it does or it doesn't skip the same "type" of skip. Regardless of the minor inconvenience/bugs, 1000% would recommend since I can't harp enough about how annoying integrated sponsor segments of YT videos have become.
- (2024-02-17) Matthew Roughton (ArbestRiAgain): Video detection is rigged. Not using and hasn't been fixed a year later.
- (2024-01-27) Chris Vydas: I disabled the buttons but it would be nice to use them. At the very least add a secondary optional place for the buttons, perhaps above, in between the search box and the player... As is, the current position adds too much clutter to the player ui and interferes with normal operation.
- (2024-01-16) JoeBlu: Absolutely Exceptional !!! and any rare downtime is quickly resolved. Marvellous stuff.
- (2023-11-21) Ignacio Baptista: Es una extensión excelente. Realmente funciona de manera perfecta, la gente es buena en reportar los sponsors con precision a nivel segundo. Muy util para videos con sponsors muy largos. Quiza en un video de 10 minutos con 2 minutos de sponsor me ahorré mirar esa parte o tener que saltearla a mano.
- (2023-11-13) Jerry: Great application. I don't know how it works technically, but skipping the placements has enhanced my viewing experience once again. If you could also skip the prompts for subscriptions, comments, and notifications, you could enjoy YouTube again 100%. (translated)
- (2023-11-12) Carlos Hsieh: 完全没有过滤广告,感觉广告还变多了!
- (2023-11-11) Артём Булыгин: имба просто,очень нужное расшерение для стримеров,реакционеров всем советую
- (2023-11-10) balls 3433: Must have for youtube, along with ublock
- (2023-11-09) Hashim: Awesome app! Saved me 11 hours of my life so far, and looking forward to saving more with it!
- (2023-11-06) CowBoyBirb: Amazing
- (2023-11-05) Peter Engbjerg Løth: i used to love this, but lately, false sponsorblock show up at even the slightest mention of the sponsor.. take the "PS5 Slim First Look and TEARDOWN!!" video from LTT. TWO of all the segments marked as sponsor, are actually sponsor, the rest is a slight mention about D-brand(who is not the sponsor of the video) quite some time ago, i asked on the support discord, if it could be disabled somehow, so it would only show the actual sponsored segments(in response to another LTT video, but this one was super micro, and every mention of supermicro was blocked as a sponsor) and was told a single setting could be changed(that did nothing) or i could vote the sponsored segments down, to remove them from my end. but that still does not solve the issue.. please, tag segments correctly, or don't tag at all. i am so tired of hearing audio skip, go back to unskip it, to see its a mention of someone related to the video, but not the sponsor. otherwise i will remove the extension and leave a one star review. i mainly want the two ACUTAL sponsor segments at the start, and at the end blocked, not all mentions of a brand!
- (2023-11-04) Anjey Singh: one of THE most useful extensions to have !
- (2023-11-04) Gogo Mih: Perfect! Thanks :)
- (2023-11-02) Mub: Chance that this is malware because when i download it and leads to bad websites. Instead of 5 i give this a 3
- (2023-11-01) Cameron 40: Love it, thank you
- (2023-11-01) Алексей Хотыненко: Desember, 1st – quit working. Hope fix soon.
- (2023-11-01) Dmytro Scherbak: Вчера работал, сегодня уже нет. Пишет ошибку "Ошибка соединения. Код ошибки: 502". Что делать?
- (2023-11-01) Kumar Divyanshu: Hey the Extensionis just awesome but it is not working from a few days . It shows "A connection error has occurred. Error code: 502" Can you please resolve this problem so that we can once again use till best tool.
- (2023-11-01) A Parkes: Copying someone else's perfect comment: "Generally this is a 10/10 extension for me, however with the newest YouTube update it's stopped working properly. I'm simply reviewing as a means of asking for the team to please update the extension as soon as they can, and otherwise to advocate for this fantastic tool for YouTube" Current errors receiving: The server seems to be overloaded. Try again in a few seconds. Error Code 502 Check status... OR Warning: The server hasn't responded with segments yet. There might actually be segments on this video already submitted but you just haven't received them due to issues with the server.
- (2023-11-01) David Breese: This is perfect for skipping any sponsor messages, self promotions, credits, intro animations, and a few other things; Even if a video hasn't been evaluated, I can submit the segments myself!
- (2023-10-31) Teddy Perera: great work. thanks for sharing
- (2023-10-30) Teddy Perera: amazing. love it

- (2023-10-30) J B: le problème c'est que youtube l'a detecté et m'a menacé de bloqué le lecteur vidéo au bout de 3 utilisations.
- (2023-10-29) Guadalupe Luperca: En youtube no bloquea nada

- (2023-10-25) BeHappyBeVegan: Perfect
- (2023-10-25) Jason Lee: Simply amazing. Makes YT much more watchable. The only improvements I can think of are to have the option for auto-skip to activate anytime during the segment (I tend to skip around my videos using the arrow keys) because it only activates at the beginning of the segment and for the manual-skip ability to be available throughout the segment (not just in the time after the notice fades). I think that if it worked like Preview/Intermission segments, it would be just a touch more convenient. I just wish the skip functions didn't need to activate at the start of the segments, rather have skips be able to be activated through the entirety of the segments similar to the ones in aniwave.to (9anime) except for auto-skip which would just skip the segment entirely wherever I click (unless I purposely want to watch the segment, however unlikely). That being said, not much to really complain about. Works like a charm. Even without those improvements, I can't go back to watching YT without SponsorBlock.

- (2023-10-23) Νίκος Νικούλης: nothing. what is this ??
- (2023-10-21) Miles kittlitz: I can't use youtube without it now. This is such a nice quality extension for youtube.
- (2023-10-20) Frederik Weber: A must have addon
- (2023-10-20) Jerome VIP: This is a no brainer for a developer that watches youtube a lot. Auto skipping sponsored messages saves hours a month worth of time. This should be build in browsers by default. 6 ouf ot 5 stars.
- (2023-10-19) Klex: Amazing. The creators I appreciate, I already know how to support them directly. I don't need to listen to them shill because YouTube reduces the rate of return.
- (2023-10-19) Laurine: Application devenue essentielle pour moi ! Merci aux contributeurs qui signalent les messages sponsos.
- (2023-10-18) lagaffe: ça a littéralement changé ma façon de regarder youtube, je vous SUPPLIE d'installer ça !
- (2023-10-18) Şevval: youtube reklam engelleyicileri engellemek için videoları göstermiyor bu uzantıyı şimdilik kullanıyorum ve gayet iyi, işe yarıyor
- (2023-10-17) Blaž Veber: This is one of the best add-ons I've ever used, it works. Now I would like them to make an app for Android users, I already have it on my Android TV but it doesn't work on my phone.
- (2023-10-15) Lakshay Gautam: Amazing Extension. I love it ♥. This extension literally helps to saves so much time.
- (2023-10-15) Hardwell: Awesome, nice work dev!
- (2023-10-13) Michael M: (English below) Deutsch: Wirklich toll für englische YT-Video, aber (trauigerweise) sehr, sehr schlecht für andere Sprachen, insbesondere deutsch. Die meisten Videos sind dabei falsch getaggt, und die Admins machen diese falsch taggenden Nutzer zu Moderatoren mit viel Macht (und deren Votes überschreiben alles). Selbst wenn es ganz klar entgegen der Regeln getaggt wird und das (auch sprachunabhängig) erkannt werden kann, sagen sie, dass sei nicht ihre Sprache und deshalb interessiert es sie nicht. Und das ist sehr, sehr traurig. Also, benutzt es besser nicht, wenn ihr viele (bspw.) deutsche Videos schaut, ihr werdet nicht viel Spaß damit haben! English: Really good for english yt videos, but (sadly) really, really bad for other languages, especially german. Most videos are wrong tagged and the admins promote users with wrong taggings to moderators with a lot of power (their votes overwrite everything). Even if it's cleary tagged against the rules and that's (even language independent) recognizable, they just say, not our language, we don't care. And that's really, really sad. So don't use it if you watch a lot of e.g. german videos, you'll have a hard time with it.
