Description
THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT BLOCK NORMAL YOUTUBE ADS, ONLY SPONSORS INSIDE VIDEOS. Use Adguard along with this extension to block both types.
Compatibility with the Vinegar extension
SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that let's anyone submit the start and end time's of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.
You can also skip over non music sections of music videos.
This is open source and the entire database is public.
Permission explanations:
Access your data for youtube.com, www.youtube-nocookie.com:
- Used to modify the YouTube webpage
Data usage explanations:
"Authentication Information": When you install the extension, it will generate a random "userID" that is used when submitting or voting. This allows you to appear on the leaderboard and helps determine reputation of submissions.
With this extension, you will automatically skip YouTube sponsors.

Ratings and Reviews
How did we come this far without SponsorBlock?
Thank you so much for this tool. Can’t stand all the “today’s episode is sponsored by..”. I already pay for YT premium and this is still extremely useful.
Great
Great functionality. Thanks for taking the time to port this.
Works.... sometimes on iPad OS
Using on iPad Os, it decides to occasionally skip sponsorship but most of the time it doesn't bother.
Opening up the extension shows it recognises the video and pressing the >> will make it jump, but on my desktop it just works....
Full disclosure I am using Vinegar and Ghostery, but I understand it is compatible with both
Developer Response ,
I believe Vinegar made a change that caused it to be incompatible again
