SponsorBlock

SponsorBlock is a browser extension created by System.String[].

The extension allows users to automatically skip sponsored segments in YouTube videos.

When a video with a sponsored segment is detected, a pop-up appears asking the user if they want to skip the segment.

If the user selects "skip", then the extension will automatically skip the segment and resume playing the video.

The extension also allows users to submit and view timestamps for sponsored segments in videos, creating a crowdsourced database of sponsorships across YouTube.

• Pros:
• • Helps avoid annoying and irrelevant sponsored content
  • Provides a crowdsourced database of sponsorships on YouTube
• Cons:
• • May occasionally skip segments that the user would have found relevant or interesting
  • The database of sponsorships may not be comprehensive or accurate
