## SponsorBlock for Safari 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.

## SponsorBlock for Safari Reviews in United States

### ***** "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
-- flashoflight22, 2024-12-31

### ***** "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.
-- Swayze_Mane, 2024-12-15

### *---- "Completely useless."
$3.99 down the krapper.
-- Jdjcnfnfnfnf, 2024-11-03

### **--- "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.
-- Just Your Usual Reviewer, 2024-09-18

### ***** "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.
-- RaidCatsu, 2024-09-09

### ****- "*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…
-- MDK210, 2024-07-04

### ***** "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
-- Jmccamb, 2024-06-23

### ****- "More Customization, please. (Or more apps?)"
I am very well pleased with this extension. For the developer that made this on Desktop Browsers both Chromium and Firefox based. I usually use Firefox Focus, Brave Browser app, or the YT app to watch vids. I would have deleted Safari if I could. But now, thanks to both his sponsor blocker and my new ad blocker (thankfully works and was a OTP app, unlike AdGuard), my safari app finally has some value and purpose added to it. It doesn’t seem like there is a way to submit sponsor segments on IOS, which is reasonable. However that is not why I give this 4 stars instead of 5. I’ve wanted this on the original sponsor blocker for desktop, there is an ability to whitelist channels for all sponsor segments, but is there a way to whitelist certain channels for certain types of segments. For example I like watching the intro and outro of Game Grumps but not for SomeOrdinaryGamers. Would it be possible in the future to have the option to whitelist GameGrumps intros but not whitelist intros for another channel? Of course I don’t just mean for only intros, but to have the ability to whitelist a certain types of segments for one channel but not another. But also, my second grievance is that sponsor blocker is only available for safari but not for the Brave Browser App or Firefox Focus App which have built in ad and tracker blockers. Would it also be possible in the future for sponsor blocker to be available for those apps? Regardless, I’m very grateful that you made an IOS port at all. I’m gonna recommend this to my family for sure. Keep up the good work!

### ***-- "doesn't work on ios"
It will always say no video detected, ive checked the settings and enabled the extension in both settings and safari. But it doesn't seem to work.
-- Jаmes Pangartica, 2024-05-29

### *---- "Total scam"
Don't do what you're supposed to do, don't buy it, don't spend your money on this.
