Thanks for installing SponsorBlock. Here are some quick tips for getting started. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. By using this extension, you agree to the Privacy Policy.

Come contribute, make some suggestions and help out in the Discord: https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU

Please review the options below

Many features are disabled by default. If you want to skip Intros, outros, use Invidious, please enable the specific options. These can be enabled or disabled at any time. You can also hide/show all UI elements added to the YouTube page.

How skipping works

Videos will automatically be skipped if they are found in the database. You can open the popup by clicking the extension icon to get a preview of what they are.

Whenever you skip a video, you will get a notice report that submission. If the timing seems wrong, report it! You can also vote in the popup. The extension auto upvotes it if you don't report it, so make sure to report when necessary (this can be disabled in the options).

Submitting

Submitting can either be done in the popup by hitting the "Sponsorship Starts Now" button or in the video player with the buttons on the player.

Clicking the play button indicated the start of a sponsorship section and clicking the stop icon indicates the end. You can prepare multiple sponsors before hitting submit. Clicking the upload button will submit. Clicking the garbage can will delete.

Editing

If you messed up, you can edit or delete your sponsor times in the popup or in the info menu (by hitting the info icon).

This is too slow

There are hotkeys if you want to use them. You must be focused on the YouTube player to use them. Press the semicolon key to indicate the start/end of a sponsor segment and click the appostrophe to submit. These can be changed in the options. If you don't use QWERTY, you should probably change the keybinds.

I hate these buttons, they are so ugly

All player buttons can be hidden in the options.

Can I get a copy of the Database? What happens if you disappear?

The database is public and available at https://sponsor.ajay.app/database. The source code is freely available. So, even if something happens to me, your submissions are not lost.

News and how it is made

See https://sponsor.ajay.app/news.
