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.
DeArrow has a bad habit of renaming videos that don’t need to be renamed. For example, ‘History of the Entire World I Guess’ was renamed to ‘History of the World.’ Ain’t nobody clicking on that.
