SponsorBlock - Skip Sponsorships on YouTube by Ajay Ramachandran

- Rated 1 out of 5by Siffrin, 3 months agoNo longer works with Firefox. Will just freeze the video when it gets to the sponsor section until you manually skip it. However even if it isn't working it's still better than nothing since it shows when the sponsor ends.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17642895, 5 months agoPlugin is rendered useless due to poor servers and "users"(bots) being able to vote that a video doesnt contain sponsors
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12011018, 5 months agoI swear to God. Nearly constant "Error Code 503" lately.
Interesting idea but this app is rapidly going from half useless to utterly useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by Nikita, 5 months agoServer down for days, app is pretty much useless at this point.
Can't create segments, can't use them, nothing. This is what I complained about previously. All created segments on this app are stored on a server. Server goes down, you get to skip jack. If it was like uBlock and stored segments in filter lists on user's PC, you could still use the app's main features without relying on latest server updates.
Developer of this app hasn't thought things through, and server is almost every week down for a day or two. It's just annoying. - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 5 months agoThis is a 5 star app, but this is the only way to make the dev aware that the servers have been down for THREE DAYS now. If they are not coming back, please remove this addon from the store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14284450, 5 months agoExcellent Extension, BUT the servers are more down than available! Last 4 weekends the servers are down every time I watch something on YT.
If the server is available = must have.
if not = useless.
"The server seems to be overloaded. Try again in a few seconds. Error Code: 502
Check status.sponsor.ajay.app for server status." - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17275815, 5 months agoWas working perfectly but now I can't submit times because of server errors:
"The server seems to be overloaded. Try again in a few seconds. Error Code: 502
Check status.sponsor.ajay.app for server status."
Please fix, this app was great up until this started happening - Rated 1 out of 5by Pinky_Bat, 5 months agoStopped working 10/19/2022. Now it just says, "A connection error has occurred: error code 503." Please fix. 😢
- Rated 1 out of 5by TimeTurn, 7 months agoDoes not work anymore. Stopped working a few days before, maybe around the time SmartTube Next also had to update to work again on FireTV / GoogleTV.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17370110, a year agoSadly, this stopped working about a month ago. Using the latest Firefox available for Debian based Linux distro "MX Linux 19.4"
Normally, I love this addon, but right now it literally does nothing. It doesn't even highlight sponsored spots within the videos.
PS: Despite being a Linux user, I am not an IT expert, a programmer etc etc. I'm just an average Joe who hates Windows & Mac, so.... There's that. :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by mfvhr591, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16963471, 2 years agoGreat idea, terrible execution. Instead of actually allowing you to skip what you want, certain videos from certain channels are allowed to bypass this entirely and they will show you their ads regardless. STOP ALLOWING YT CHANNELS TO PAY OFF THIS DEVELOPER
Edit: To be specific, whenever you try to skip a certain segment on certain videos the message is displayed:
"New submissions are not allowed for the following category: 'sponsor'. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly."
Thanks moderator, you made the decision for the community. Why even bother having one then?Developer response
posted 2 years agoWhy would you believe such a rediculus conspiracy?
Edit: If you think a video was locked incorrectly, send a message on discord. You are probably referring to either self promotion or fully sponsored videos that need their disclaimers shown to show bias. No one is paying me, we just are trying to not spread misinformation
