SponsorBlock for YouTube 5.5.7

This browser extension provides a convenient solution for skipping over sponsors and other intrusive elements in YouTube videos. It is important to note that while this extension is effective in blocking sponsors within videos, it does not block regular YouTube ads. For comprehensive ad-blocking functionality, we recommend using Adguard in conjunction with this extension. Additionally, please be aware that this extension is only compatible with the YouTube website and does not support the YouTube app.

The SponsorBlock extension is a valuable tool for users who want to streamline their YouTube viewing experience by avoiding sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other bothersome segments of videos. This extension functions by utilizing a crowdsourced database, allowing users to submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments in YouTube videos. Once this information has been submitted, all users with the SponsorBlock extension will automatically skip over the corresponding sponsored segment.

In addition to skipping sponsors, users also have the ability to bypass non-music sections in music videos. This extension is open source, meaning that the entire database is accessible to the public.

For transparency and clarity, we would like to outline the permissions required by this extension:

• Access your data for youtube.com and www.youtube-nocookie.com: This permission is necessary in order to modify the YouTube webpage and provide the functionality of the extension.

Furthermore, we would like to explain how data is utilized by this extension:

• "Authentication Information": Upon installation of the extension, a unique "userID" will be generated. This userID is utilized when submitting or voting on segments and helps contribute to your reputation within the community.
