A really fantastic app that I wish someone else would make, but more about skipping annoying sponsor reads and less about policing anything the insanely anal retentive users of SponsorBlock deem to be 'non-content'. This is made by the same people as the soulless DeArrow add-on that lets users basically rename/rethumbnail anything they deem as "clickbait" (which is only based in the actual definition of clickbait 30% of the time) and shares a solid chunk of the same userbase, and it shows.

The entire system of SponsorBlock is based on upvoting and downvoting different segments to try and get the perfect edits. There are are plenty of people doing the Lord's work out there and giving us seemless skips - and really, I don't even mind a choppy skip, i just like that I don't have to click and skip myself. The problem with this is that from what I've seen I'm pretty sure it's only a very small minority that actually go into SponsorBlock and check different segments, because anything they don't agree with is insanely review bombed by those people. I'm also rather sure that all segments are just whatever was first submitted to the video, or what was changed by a mod of some sorts after being reported in their Discord (because yes, of course the only place to get support, report, or anything is a Discord).

Speaking of, this app + DeArrow have basically no moderation, and in some parts have absolutely NO moderation, as confirmed in their Discord! If you want to totally screw up a very small creator's day? Have absolutely at it. It only gets caught if someone reports it, and reports only happen a few times a day at most.
(Disclaimer: Don't do this? Shouldn't have to say that, but I'm saying this to point out that this is a major flaw in the system nobody seems to care about.)

Overall, download the add-on and just turn on sponsor skipping alone. Nothing else in those settings is worth diddly-squat.

The extention changes the caption language to Arabic and there is nothing you can do about it. Not sure if the developers are arabic and missed this, or if it just because it is the first language in the list, but it is very frustrating. Even more frustrating than the sponsor-sections.
I hope they fix the bug so that i can re-install the extention.

Was 5 stars till I saw what they did to whitelisting. It doesn't even work, I just need to manually toggle Skip off now for certain channels.

Bring whitelist back.

No longer retaining segments. This has been a lifesaver, but over the last couple of weeks there have been some major fails. Could use better submission UI and ability to remove your own incorrect segments as well.

It doesn't stop any adds on YouTube.

Does not autoskip ads. It does speed up some ads, but you still need to click the button. Believe it's related to VPN.

Great concept and I have been using it for quite some time now but a few days ago it just stopped skipping segments. And no, my settings are not wrong. It doesn't even promp that there is a segment, they're just shown in the progress bar and nothing more.

No longer blocking sponsors since the major YouTube update other day! Please help to get it working again!

Wonderful add-on. Sometimes however it won't load in the YT interface, so I have to reload the tab to make appear its icons.

not currently working on youtube 9/11/23

edit: youtube video is removed from the page and a generic "adblockers aren't allowed" banner is in its place. no way to remove it, and seems the video is not actually present. i'm in ontario.

No idea if this issue with firefox but im sometimes seeing it not function, also if it skips it cancels picture in picture at times, again not sure if cos of sponsorblock or cos of firefox, maybe can do something about this, atleast the first bug thanks.

Brilliant when it's working, but relies on a server that is down more often than not.

What happened???

i get the colored bar on bottom utube videos, but no longer are they auto skipped like i set it up. used to work before im wondering if creator sold out to the whales ($) i am willing to pay for a lifetime license as long as you don't sell out to those that fight against work such as this, there has to be a solid i will not sellout and stick for the people instead of the scummy $ billionares, PLEASE

Расширение постоянно отваливается! Приходится постоянно выключать и включать расширение, чтобы оно снова заработало! И так по несколько раз на дню.

The extension keeps crashing! I need to disable and enable the extension for it to work again! And so several times a day.

For those looking to skip in-video ads and other annoyances, this extension is awesome. Almost every video I watch now has segments that are seamlessly skipped.

For those looking to help out and submit segments to the database, this extension is a nightmare. In just a few weeks of doing this, I had multiple "VIP" users of the extension stalk and harass me on social media after I was quick to submit segments on new videos in their "territory" (i.e. large channels). The extension provides a submission "leaderboard" that drives this toxic behavior.

Just checked Muppet's link, and yup, when I clicked downvote button it says "Vote rejected: A moderator has decided that this segment is correct". What's worse is that "Whitelist channel" button also doesn't work, with error "Channel ID is not loaded yet.", which would be the only way to listen to this song fully without disabling skipping Non-Music and intermission segments.
