SponsorBlock - Skip Sponsorships on YouTube by Ajay (SponsorBlock)
Review by ajropey
Rated 3 out of 5
by ajropey, 7 months agoAbsolutely tanks performance when watching youtube videos. Finally narrowed it down to this plug-in. CPU temps spike to 90c+, thermal throttles and brings the performance down.
To dev: Please let me know if I can provide logs or something to help resolve this. This is a really handy extension but its unusable in its current state.
Device: mid-2014 Macbook Pro 13 inch.

posted 7 months agoTry disabling all user scripts. There are a few userscripts that end up tanking performance when combined with SponsorBlock such as "CPU tamer" which doesn't actually improve performance outside of SponsorBlock anyway anymore

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nerthazul, 9 days agoIncredible time-saver, skips all the BS in the video automatically. You actually don't even notice how much time you save with this addon. It is invaluable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Alex, 10 days agoI love the extension, it is a must-have to enjoy youtube.
However, it is very broken on mobile right now.
After installing, in fullscreen, the video flips to portrait mode every 20 seconds or so. (Sometimes by itself, sometimes as a reaction to the screen being tapped).
The only way to fix it is to go out of FS or double tap to skip 10 seconds of the video.
It is incredibly annoying and by rating one star my intentions are only for the dev to give the issue the appropriate amount of attention it deserves as I am not the only one who suffers from this problem.
There is an unresolved github thread about it and there are reviews here that mention the same issue.
As soon as it is fixed, I will five it the 5+ starts this amazing extension deserves. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17950215, 10 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AnonFF User, 12 days agoYoutube has started buffering my videos and sometimes not even loading them, and I've sourced this extension as the problem by testing all my extensions individually. I still give it 5 stars, F**k youtube.
