Download Download SponsorBlock for YouTube (Chrome) 4.2 Free

Sponsor blocks YouTube is a time saving extension that detects sponsored clips of YouTube videos and puts them in a database for all users to share. Where most apps out there are designed to satisfy the interests of the user and meet the needs of only one person, SB puts you in the opposite position where you sacrifice seconds to help others.

Submit sponsor to database

Submitting a sponsored section causes a chain reaction that affects all users. If one person flags a flagged segment, the entire user base will skip the segment. That way, even if you’re working on someone else’s time, the service is mutual because you can also benefit from someone else’s work.

A button marks a segment

You can know you’ve landed in a sponsored video when you notice the yellow line inside the video’s progress bar. If you want to tag a segment, all you have to do is open the extension’s menu and click the “Start Sponsoring Now” button.

To successfully submit a sponsorship section, you must enter a timestamp from start to finish, which means you must click the “Sponsorship Ends Now” button to determine that time interval. If you don’t finish this process for a video and move to another video, a bubble pops up notifying you of the status of the last action.

Check out the options menu

SponsorBlock for YouTube includes several options that can take a few seconds off the basic process. For example, you can set hotkeys for commits, get rid of skip notifications, hide/show some buttons, etc.

Also, you can create a username and get to the top of the leaderboards.yes there is one Leaderboard Track users who submit the most sponsorships and display overall statistics.

all in all

SponsorBlock for YouTube is a fun app that will save you some time with YouTube sponsored segments. Basically, the extension allows you to help others by quickly submitting to a dedicated database related to all SB users.
