Automatic SponsorBlock skipping does work
It finds one SponsorBlock in the database, but doesn’t skip it, even though auto skipping is turned on.
Description
THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT BLOCK NORMAL YOUTUBE ADS, ONLY SPONSORS INSIDE VIDEOS. Use Adguard along with this extension to block both types. It also only works on the YouTube website, not the YouTube app.
Compatibility with the Vinegar extension
SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that let's anyone submit the start and end time's of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.
You can also skip over non music sections of music videos.
This is open source and the entire database is public.
Permission explanations:

Data usage explanations:

SponsorBlock for Safari Reviews
Works almost too well!
This is such a subtle little extension, I hardly notice it when it works because it just works. Sometimes I’ll be watching a video that came out minutes ago, and obviously nobody has had time to mark the sponsored segments yet. Other than that, works perfectly!
Doesn’t work, waste of money.
Activated in Safari, didn’t work. I still get sponsor segments.
Open Source
Since this is app is sourced on GitHub anyone with a great idea and extensive coding knowledge can contribute. Won’t see that with most App Store Apps
Can’t Live Without This
I love this extension so much that I bought the App Store version even though I only use uBOrigin-compatible browsers where this is free…Linux, Mac, Windows - SponsorBlock is on all my machines - its been so invaluable I felt it was time to show the dev some ❤️ (their other app is great too!). Just fantastic.
Completely useless.
$3.99 down the krapper.
Unfortunate bugs
At one time this extension used to obey the "Auto Skip" setting, but nowadays — and for the last couple of months — it doesn't. The sponsored segments are marked and identified but none of the skipping ever happens. And it's not just sponsors: intros, like 'n subscribes, and all the other crud no longer auto-skip. It's funny because according to the markings the program recognizing these segments. It just... doesn't skip them any more.
The same sponsorblock you know and love
As someone who has skipped hundreds of hours of sponsors on chrome and firefox im perfectly happy to pay the devs 3$ in exchange for their continued updates. Keep up the good work.
*Update* Hit or Miss
Update: looks like a ton of issues were fixed including the issue I posted. Changed review score to reflect that. It used to work in Safari (not the YT app) but it seems a month or so ago it’s definitely hit or miss, with more misses. If you watch YT in portrait mode it seems to pick up the sponsor segments but if you start a video and immediately go full screen landscape it doesn’t appear to detect the segments. You’ll need to open the settings in the address bar and refresh it so the video is detected and segments get picked up. Weird since I swear it used to work and it’s solid on MacOS…
Amazing extension
My favorite thing to do is to check to see just how much time of your life you’ve gotten back from all the segments that you’ve skipped
