AI 产品解读Automatically skips sponsored segments, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other non-content segments on YouTube videos using crowdsourced timestamp data
YouTube videos contain embedded sponsor reads, self-promotion, intros, outros, and subscription reminders that waste viewers' time. SponsorBlock crowdsources segment timestamps so all users automatically skip these interruptions.
Install extension → it auto-generates an anonymous userID → extension automatically fetches known segments for any YouTube video from sponsor.ajay.app server → skips segments in real-time during playback. Users can optionally submit new segments by marking start/end times, and vote on existing segments.

- 目标用户
- YouTube viewers who want to skip sponsor reads and non-content segments / Community contributors who submit and vote on segment timestamps / Users who watch music videos and want to skip non-music sections
- Source JS files are minified/bundled, making exact line-by-line analysis harder, but key functions (generateUserID, onInstall handler) are clearly identifiable.
- The 'subscription' keyword false positive from the heuristic is clearly about YouTube 'subscription begging' segment categories, not paid subscriptions, confirmed by the store description and locale strings.
付费分析未识别到付费功能
The extension is fully open source (MIT license per LICENSE.txt files). There are no premium tiers, no payment processing, no Stripe/billing integration, no feature gating. The keyword hits for 'subscription' refer to YouTube 'subscription begging' segments (i.e., creators asking viewers to subscribe), not paid subscriptions. The 'pro' hits are incidental substrings in translated locale strings. The 'upgrade' hit in Persian locale refers to 'The notice has been upgraded!' (noticeUpdate), a UI notice change, not a paid upgrade. There is a voluntary donation link (sponsor.ajay.app/donate) in the help page, but this does not gate any features.

- The extension auto-generates a random anonymous userID on first install (generateUserID() in background.js). This is NOT a login—there is no password, no account creation, no authentication UI, and no server-side account. The userID is purely an anonymous identifier for submitting/voting on segments. The core workflow (auto-skipping sponsors on YouTube) works immediately after installation without any user authentication. The store description confirms: 'When you install the extension, it will generate a random userID that is used when submitting or voting.'
Been using it for a couple of years now. Fantastic extension, highly recommended, I hope it lasts as long as the Internet does.
I love this extension, however since I've downloaded it I have this really annoying glitch where audio from multiple videos play on one video. I can fix it by hitting the back button once or twice, but it's still super disrupting. If this issue can be fixed I'd gladly change my review to 5 stars easy!
It was a good extension, but lately it doesn't work most of the time. Constant server errors. Can we at least know when it will be fixed, because there is no information about it on the official site?
So insanely good it is beautiful.
Constant server issues. Pretty much useless.
Stopped working. Hasn't worked in about a week.
Прекрасное расширение. Жаль, перестало работать. Надеюсь, скоро починят.
Connection Error 502 on PC last 3 days (chrome and firefox) But on the phone (Vanced) it still works fine.
Перестало работать.
the extension is great... when it works; servers have been down for the last day or so; no update from the creator
