SponsorBlock for YouTube is a Windows plugin for Chrome that enables you to improve the overall viewing experience on the popular media platform. It identifies and removes non important segments such as sponsor advertisements, self promotion, intros, outros and more.

How it works

After installing the extension users can activate it via the corresponding icon on the main browser toolbar. All unwanted sections of YouTube clips will be skipped automatically, which is helpful for saving time and network bandwidth.

You are able to view marked timestamps before skipping. This functionality is intended to ensure full control over what is being removed and avoid potential errors. It is important to mention that the plugin enhances the watching experience without interfering with creator monetization.

Configuration

The Settings menu allows users to choose which content will be removed during playback. Available categories include:
