SponsorBlock is a browser extension that lets you skip sponsored ads in YouTube videos - here's what you need to know.
Using an ad blocker to watch YouTube videos will help you avoid the ads that Google shoves down our throats. Google obviously isn't a fan of the practice, and I previously explained why ads are integral to the YouTube experience. But there's another type of ad that ad blockers won't remove. The sponsored ads or product placement ads that creators insert in their videos. This is another way for content makers to monetize their channels.
'There are currently 13,033,165 users who have submitted 15,054,832 skip segments, which have saved a total of 1885 years and 16.23 days of people's lives,' the Sponsor Block web page read at the time of this writing. Once you enable the extension in your browser, you'll see a green color appear for the sponsored content. The video will automatically skip over that product placement segment, though you can also manually jump to the end of it.
