SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships
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.

Does what it says, plus skipping to highlights
chill asf
Decent but still has room for improvement. I found a video where someone is commenting on another video, where the commenter takes an hour to review a 10 minute video. So I wanted to put highlights where the original video gets played to help people skip the commenter's droning on about points he's covered ad nauseum in previous videos, only to find just one of my highlights actually got saved.
I love Sponsorblock but, it does have one glaring issue. It does not work in the Chrome browser for Windows.
Top thx
Not working recently
This doesn't do anything about sponsored videos that appear at the top of YouTube search results. They still appear.
this is not a adblocker guys its a sponsorblocker and its such a lifesaver
Not good . I better than this extension i use one extension genius adblocker its working on all ads and more advance features 1) Genius adblocker 2) Ublock 2) Youtube Skip
Works great but sometimes I get an issue where SponsorBlock says "No youtube video found", so the sponsor obviously doesn't skip. A refresh fixes it, but it's getting annoying. Is this a known issue, any fix? Thanks.
One of the single best extensions on the store. I forgot that sponsored segments exist aside from creators occasionally saying "now back to the content" unprompted. Going on youtube on my phone is jarring. This just works.
thank you, just thankyou
SponsorBlock is just amazing, you can customize everthing and its really easy to use, it immidently works and skips every sponsor perfect.
awesome addon
This is a good way to retain my attention. Win-win for both the audience and the creator lol. I actually bought whatever this developer puts out, even the title fixer. Check it out guys!
thanks to the developer and the community .

best extension ever
Nice
Works amazingly. Kudos to everyone contributing to development.
I love this extension!! It works very well and does exactly what it says it does! It's surprising how well it works even on new videos. I don't think I can ever use Youtube now without it!
I love freeloading. Goodbye, Raid: Shadow Legends.
Just the best. Thanks for saving my time and mental health
this is the best extension I've ever used, theres no others like.
This is a time saver! I can't believe how useful it is when you set it up for yourself. Some settings should be changed for your use case. I normally change it all to prompt me whenever it asks if an element I want to skip in the video. Unlike an Adblock, this removes the in-video annoyances. So it's not about cleaning the interface but about removing all useless intermissions for some!
Does what it says on the tin and even more, very complete and customizable. 5/5
literally havent seen a sponsor since the day i downloaded this extension. 10/10
So far, so good. Very effective functioning, the proof being that you don't even notice its on.
Stellar!
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.
Best addon
Button is mis-aligned with the new UI
Brilliant, thank you for building and maintaining!
Brilliant Idea and well made.
My second favourite extension!
The most usefull extension for youtube! Thanks a lot!
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 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.
Such a good boy!
please please please allow us to make channel specific settings 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing extension; bringing back old youtube. Might be the first extension that I want to donate to.
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.
Not working anymore
Very good, I am happy
Absolute garbage app. Does not work at all. Ublock origin is the only one that works properly.
One of the most useful extensions on internet. It saves a lot of time
pls don't die
perfect
10/10 plugin, I use this every day - its incredibly helpful.
This is simply a must have if you intend to watch YouTube in the modern day
