SponsorBlock for Safari

Non-intrusive annoyance skipper, it works like a charm, install it once and you'll keep it for life. Ty Ajay for your work !

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…

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

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!

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.

Don't do what you're supposed to do, don't buy it, don't spend your money on this.

Works just like the desktop version. Highly customizable settings so you can tailor it perfectly to your preferences. $3 is a great price to get rid of the annoyance of sponsors. Highly recommend

This app works great…but also can go a bit overboard. I notice I’ll open a video and it will immediately skip halfway through the video! If it keeps up, I may just uninstall it, which is a shame, as I did pay money for this app, as I thought it well worth. Update: now it’s only blocking some sponsor ads, not all :( Update (Jan. 27, 2024): blocking more ads, but always messes up with YouTuber James Hoffmann. Upon clicking on the video, it will 100% of the time jump 3/4 of the way through the video. February 8, 2024. Deleting the app, way to inconsistent. It’s nice when it works though :(

Jesus why did you put these annoying green buttons next to the title of the video? I don't want any buttons. These need to GO! Immediately!

It makes watching yt so much better
