In summary, it's a crowd-sourced adblock for sponsored sections of YouTube videos.

SponsorBlock for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera permits you to skip video sponsors while using YouTube. SponsorBlock is a great way to cut some of the time-wasting fat off of your video watching but remember if you frequent a channel, consider whitelisting them (like the MajorGeeks channel), so they can continue producing the content you enjoy.

  1. Available on Firefox as well, visit my site: SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos.
  2. N/a A web browser extension that skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos and also allows you to submit segments that have not been detected We all like to watch YouTube videos on a daily basis.
  • Added button to popup to allow you to vote from the popup.
  • Added messages to indicate the status of different things, such as errors or that it's loading
  • Added submit button on the video player.
  • Made it keep checking for submitted sponsor times every 10 seconds on recent videos.

This should help a lot for when videos are just published, so even if you are one of the first to watch a video, you might still get some sponsors skipped by people having submitted info by the time you reach near the end of the video. Smith and wesson serial number date of manufacture.

This uses the API provided by invidious that gives out the date a video was published in seconds. This number can then be checked to see if it is less than 3 days old.

  • Switched it from using local storage to synced storage.

Now, you should be treated as the same user when switching devices.

  • Added small notice of how many submissions this user has made.

This should help encourage people to submit info, as they can see exactly how much they have helped.

  • Preventing voting twice except for changing a vote

This makes it so a user can vote on something they have already voted on if they are going to change their vote. They can change their upvote to a downvote.

  • Made it order the sponsor times by start time.

This looks so much better in the UI for reporting times, as it shows it in chronological order.

  • Added rate limit per day per IP

This should prevent spam from one IP. Maybe it can be changed to an hourly limit/

  • Made it run the hash function 5000 times to ensure no one will brute force the IPs.

The longer it takes to run a hash function, the harder it is to brute force. Since the database is completely public, any sensitive information stored, such as IP addresses, needs to be saved in a way cannot be retrieved by anyone. IPs must be saved to prevent spam, but the actual IP isn't needed, just a hash to compare against.

I am now working on a port of this extension to Firefox. Once this is done, the extension will be available on both stores and be officially released.
