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.

- (2025-07-19) Does what it says on the tin and even more, very complete and customizable. 5/5
- (2025-07-17) literally havent seen a sponsor since the day i downloaded this extension. 10/10
- (2025-07-16) So far, so good. Very effective functioning, the proof being that you don't even notice its on.
- (2025-07-15) Stellar!
- (2025-07-14) Does what it says. One of the best things to have when watching youtube. If you don't have it you need it. What would make it better? Probably having auto highest quality as an extra feature since utube doesn't play at highest quality ever and you shouldn't need an addon to do that but hey utube is cheep they can charge you for premium then make you push a button like Homer Simpson to get the benefit of giving them money EVERY single video.
- (2025-07-13) Best addon
- (2025-07-11) Button is mis-aligned with the new UI
- (2025-07-10) Brilliant, thank you for building and maintaining!
- (2025-07-10) Brilliant Idea and well made.
- (2025-07-08) My second favourite extension!
- (2025-07-04) The most usefull extension for youtube! Thanks a lot!
- (2025-06-29) Must have to save time. Provides options for different content to skip in videos that are marked by users and anyone can dynamically send a snippet with the timeline.
- (2025-06-28) 2025-06-28 Not working correctly. When you click on "Start Segment", the next time you click on the app you see "Start Segment" again, but you should see "Stop Segment". No longer works. None of the videos I'm watching today have the colored bars indicating the different things this extension was supposed to remove.
- (2025-06-27) Such a good boy!
- (2025-06-22) please please please allow us to make channel specific settings 🙏🙏🙏
- (2025-06-19) Amazing extension; bringing back old youtube. Might be the first extension that I want to donate to.
- (2025-06-16) Constantly asking for 'review our guidelines' it's ABSOLUTELY worthless. Having an add-on to report ad blocks that nags you about that stuff is pointless. Fire all devs! The Add On Is usefull as a Bag of Sand in the Sahara Desert.
- (2025-06-16) Not working anymore
- (2025-06-14) Very good, I am happy
- (2025-06-11) One of the most useful extensions on internet. It saves a lot of time
- (2025-06-10) pls don't die
- (2025-06-09) perfect
- (2025-06-06) 10/10 plugin, I use this every day - its incredibly helpful.
- (2025-06-06) This is simply a must have if you intend to watch YouTube in the modern day
- (2025-06-05) Stopped working on January 1, 2025. Edit: they got it working again, but now the pre-roll filtering doesn't work.
- (2025-06-02) doesnt work alot
- (2025-06-01) Been using this for 2 years now. Best extension i have next to uBlock. Especially good if ur like me and eat your meals while watching YouTube or listen to podcast/documentaries while cleaning. I never write reviews but it's genuinely so good i had to write one to show support, recommended 10 times over
- (2025-05-27) UPDATED: Fixed the issue on my end, not sure if it's still struggling on the other end, but mine seems to be working again!. outofdate: Heads up yt is fighting against sb again, can't watch anything with it on or it errors the videos The rating isn't sb's fault just trying to get this too you guys as quick as possible!
- (2025-05-27) Be warned, people are trolling by adding "non-music" parts to popular songs right now
- (2025-05-25) Very useful for saving time and skipping annoying YT sponsorships. Not giving Youtubers any more Ad revenue!
- (2025-05-25) Super good, lots of functions😃
- (2025-05-24) I love this tool. Keep updating.
- (2025-05-22) The only extension I have ever taken the time to review. It has automatically skipped hours of sponsor segments by now. I love that it lets me know where the intro of a video starts and the actual content starts. This extension makes YouTube so much more usable despite the encroaching monetization of everything.
- (2025-05-10) Perfect, there is a MUST HAVE extension.
- (2025-05-10) Works awesome and the community is sooo quick to mark the segments.. I just wished there was a category like "entertaining sponsorship" or something. A lot of youtubers create really fun to watch segments which are well implemented into the main video.
- (2025-05-09) what IDIOT slaps intermission and INTRO into the same damned category?! do you understand how much "intermission" is skipped when all I want is intros to be skipped? there are also videos with so many marked "intermissions" that it genuinely kills the flow. I shouldn't have to choose between skipping awful intros and the arbitrary intermission blocks that some people just generate at the worst bloody time.
- (2025-05-08) This is the best!!
- (2025-05-05) Works like a GD charm!
- (2025-05-01) Been using this for a number of years now, don't know how I lived without it.
- (2025-04-29) perfection, i wish there was a way this could work on my phone!
- (2025-04-27) absolute zaebis
- (2025-04-25) Great Extenssion!
