SponsorBlock - Skip Sponsorships on YouTube by Ajay (SponsorBlock)
Review by Unbolted
Rated 4 out of 5
by Unbolted, 3 years agoThis extension has saved me alot of time, and alot of clicks! I use YouTube for many things, tutorials and entertainment and one thing that they usually share in common is the content creator having sponsors and simply content unrelated to the video. Now these take up a minute or 2 or even more sometimes, and that's really annoying. Now a minute may not sound like much, and you could say just click past the sponsor, but number 1, with this extension, that can be automated or you can use a hotkey to skip it, so there is less movement of your fingers, and as for "it's just 1 minute", you can actually view stats at the extensions menu for how much time you've saved since using this. It's a bit like discounts, say for instance you can just type in a coupon for 20 cents off, 20 cents doesn't sound like alot, but after a while it can really add up to so much. Now I know this is like comparing apples to oranges but why go through the hassle of extra clicks when you could have 1 or no clicks?
This extension is not a RAM Hog, it doesn't really cause lag to my browser at all, and that's just great!
I am so grateful such extension exists, and with all the customization that is available, I just can't see myself not using this at all!
I have a few issues that are fairly minor but I would still like to point out.
First of all, the settings is a little bit confusing, while the UI is clean and easy to use, the options are not explained well, specifically the skip options and interface section settings. They just aren't really explained well, nor is there any easy to access place to view what these options can do or mean. I just think that the wiki should be set out a bit better as it doesn't seem to load right and it's hard to find what you are looking for.
Now this one is to do with the icon, I just don't really like the design, and since it's displayed in a small format, that small line on the outside just doesn't look that good from a design standpoint.
These small things, should NOT stop you from getting this extension will have a guaranteed benefit of saving you time. It should be noted that as much as you can rely on the community, it's still a community effort to record content. By submitting sections unrelated to the video, you will be helping thousands of people, and it's not too hard to do!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Four Legged LYS, 6 days agoThank you for your hard work, as well as all the users who keep the database updated; and for the function of adding a segment manually yourself, although rarely do I come across a video where nobody marked an ad or an intro yet.

- Rated 3 out of 5by MrProngles, 10 days agoI really love this add-on. Though the newest update with the skip profile menu really isn't to my liking. If I want to support a channel I just want to quickly click the whitelist channel button and be done with it. I don't want to configure how the add-on should behave for every channel.
That is most likely a me thing though.
Everything else about it is top notch!Developer response
posted 10 days agoYou should be able to just select the already created "whitelisted channel" configuration and use it just like before. You can use the same profile on as many channels as you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by MachineAngelXVII, 11 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Zumzoom, 20 days agoOne of the greatest extensions ever.
Unfortunately it seems to have stopped working for me since my recent switch to mobile internet.
Any way to fix this?Developer response
posted 17 days agoDoes accessing https://sponsor.ajay.app work? If not, your internet service provider might have started blocking access to my servers. You can go into options -> misc -> SponsorBlock server address and try changing it to https://api.sponsor.ajay.app to see if the block is bypassed - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19511581, 20 days ago
