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.'
I have this and it's NOT working. I search for something on YouTube and the first result, followed by multiple random-ordered videos are SPONSORED, and these sponsored videos displaying in search results have NOTHING to do with what I typed in the search bar. This extension is not preventing sponsored videos from displaying in search results!

One of the best thing someone can develop
Works damn near flawlessly on youtube proper. However, I noticed that, even though I specifically toggled auto-skipping non-music sections on YT Music, I still have to manually skip them.
most of timestamps made by people on this extension are sloppy af, and it doesnt give enough possibility to replace faulty timestamps by someone who actually cares
Кнопку «Пропустить до важного» починят когда-нибудь? Не показывается в плеере не смотря на то что включено Показывать кнопку «Пропустить до важного» в плеере YouTube. Эта проблема была и до обновления плеера YouTube.

It has some problems for me. The biggest is that it randomly makes chrome lag for me even though neither CPU or RAM shows any problems in task manager. I don't have dedicated RAM either. It lags even if it already have loaded so it isn't a network issue either. Sometimes it identifies things as ADs when it isn't but mostly it works fine. It's possible that it's conflcting with some other addon that I have enabled. I haven't trouble shooted it more than just turning it off.
Doesn't work anymore :( Chrome.
