the internet would be unusable without sponsorblock + ublock origin
it’s so jarring when you have to use the internet on some public computer without adblock on it
I particularly like how you can filter out elements you don’t like that aren’t explicitly ads with ublock. Twitch will tell me when there’s a hype train or a sponsor in a stream. Twitter wants a sidebar full of news and suggestions. I use a lot of custom filters
I hate segued sponsor segments even more than regular ads, so it was a glorious day when I finally installed it. Watching the video automatically skip a minute and the little toast notification come up is incredibly cathartic
I like when they give you a little burst of something interesting before the sponsor and I’m like "oh, you motherfucker, you tried, didn’t you?
it’s so good. if you have a fire stick or an android device for your TV you can get Smarttube for YouTube TV which comes packaged with sponsorblock too. (+no ads of course). mind boggling how anyone can use the website without this stuff
thank you for reminding me to turn it back on since i had to turn off some plugins to find what was slowing my shit down
I remember when ad sections used to be marked in yellow.
Very useful extension and I absolutely understand why people would want that. Having said that, in my personal experience, sponsored segments are sometimes the only kind of ad I find even remotely bearable, because at least sometimes the people whose videos I watch get to play around with the idea of peddling products and services. I’m talking about sponsored ads like the kind of stuff Comment Etiquette, i did a thing or YKS do. But that’s very rare.
