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.'
works like i wanted it to. love it, hope you update it to advance it. this should be implemented into youtube.
vraiment top, fonctionne parfaitement avec une grande parties des videos. Ca saute les passages de pubs invideo, les sponsos, les intros avec la musique qui gueule, et meme les moments chiants ou ca blabla pour rien. biens sur c'est paramétrable, genre si vous aimez les passage chiant, vous pouvez les activer :D vous pouvez aussi directement sur la timelaps, cliquer pour voir ces passages. Seule critique, quand je veux participer à sectionner les videos, ce n'est pas commode, on perd trop de temps, on s'embrouille dans les manips. Bref, extension à essayez, difficile de s'en passer une fois qu'on y a gouté :)
not working
I heard this extension mentioned in a video about YouTube's war against adblockers and I downloaded it out of curiosity. It worked just fine from the get-go, except that sometimes I need to reload a page for the information screen to display the submission option, but since any segment I marked is remembered, that is no problem at all. It is great to be able to help by submitting my own segments and immediately seeing the result myself as well, plus seeing the statistics on how much I helped. It makes me feel like part of a community despite never talking to them. The fact I get to easily select what to do with what kind of segments is great, and the color coding in the progress bar is so helpful I feel it should be standard on all video platforms to begin with. When watching videos on my phone, I really miss it, which is a testament to how much I love it.
Sera el fin de esta maravillosa extension?
dont work
Sadly I have issues with playlists, it started to skip all videos from the playlist. All of the sudden, after 3-4 video. I refreshed the playlist, still not playing videos from the list. I removed extension from the Chrome, I refreshed playlist, everything go back to normal. Then I tried again: install extension, refresh playlist, this time is playing as expected. Strange. I will keep it and monitoring for issues.
Previously it worked very well. but currently it is not working for me.
Denerwowałem się, że wtyczki w chrome mają mniej fitcherów niż RVX, ale to rozszerzenie uzupełnia lukę, dzięki <3
oha
