SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension and open API for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about using a privacy preserving query system. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe, and skipping to the point with highlight.
The source code is fully open and the database can be downloaded by anyone. I want to keep this as open as possible! You can view the docs for the public API or host a mirror.
YouTube is increasingly dedicated to making the YouTube experience increasingly shittier, which is why I only use 3rd party clients (and also why I don’t pay for YT Premium, aside from no longer having a Google account at all).
