  • Worth it

    This works well and saves a lot of time, helps maintain focus. The only downside is that if you watch something that is recently released it may not yet have skip sections added.
  • Doesn't work anymore

    dunno what happened, but the extension doesn't do anything anymore

    Developer Response

    Maybe safari automatically disabled it for you, or it could be that another extension such as Vinegar updated and caused an incompatibility
  • I won't go on YouTube without it

    Honestly, this is a really good extension. I don't write reviews much but this developer absolutely deserves it. I pay for YouTube premium but hate sponsor segments in the videos. This absolutely that one last annoyance 10 out of 10 recommend.
  • Works.... sometimes on iPad OS

    Using on iPad Os, it decides to occasionally skip sponsorship but most of the time it doesn't bother.
    Opening up the extension shows it recognises the video and pressing the >> will make it jump, but on my desktop it just works....
    Full disclosure I am using Vinegar and Ghostery, but I understand it is compatible with both

    I believe Vinegar made a change that caused it to be incompatible again
  • So good, I want to switch back to Web on iPhone

    This extension + dearrow elevate the YouTube viewing experience so much, that I've slowly started to switch back to viewing on the Web even on iPad and iphone. Truly great work here, and we'll worth the couple of bucks cost.

    If youtube premium gets another price hike, I'll probably switch over to this for mobile viewing full time.

  • Can overdo it sometimes

    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 :(

    Sounds like you've accidentally turned highlight on autoskip. Try going to settings -> backup/restore -> reset settings to default
  • Don't forget to change macOS Safari Settings

    Just installed the app and it worked on the iOS Safari browser but I couldn't seem to get it to work on macOS Safari. Turns out you need to go into the website settings on Safari and 'allow' it access to all the YouTube related things.

  • No buttons please!

    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!

    Developer Response

    settings -> Show an icon when a video is entirely an advertisement
