- Rated 1 out of 5by Wuzzle, a day agoWould've given this five stars a few years ago but apparently the lead dev is incapable of communicating properly with his moderators and will just remove your mod status without warning and block you before you even get the chance to ask why, forcing you to complain on his public discord server to get an answer out of him
EDIT: Or leave a one star review on his other extension, DeArrow - Rated 1 out of 5by Shaqaruden, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by JoyFlameball, a month agoIt's stopped working. It won't skip sponsored sections anymore, or even show them in the progress bar.

Developer response
posted 3 months agoIt has done that since day one. It does that to allow you to unskip it. You can disable easily by clicking the "never show" button on the notice. - Rated 1 out of 5by bananas! bananas! bananas!, 3 months agoIt used to not be intrusive about what its blocking but now it will just pause the video for a second or two and give you this jarring pop-up about how its totally skipping for realsies.
Developer response
posted 3 months agoI'm not sure what you mean by that. Maybe the issue is it buffering as the skip was long? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18270243, 3 months agoFunktioniert absolut nicht!!!!!! Es werden keine Werbfilmchen geblockt.

posted 3 months agoThis is not a traditional ad blocker. This extension only skips parts of the video where the creator themselves talks about a sponsor. - Rated 1 out of 5by Shinobi, 3 months agoDoesn't work on this Firefox Browser. It worked great on Opera GX tho. I might have to switch back to Opera GX.
- Rated 1 out of 5by twac2988, 4 months agoDemands you to tediously preview the sponsored segment with no option to disable this. I use quick hotkeys to quickly submit segments without getting in the way of my viewing experience. Now, I have an annoying popup demanding me to test if I did a good enough job. I use the ", and ." keys to make the segments frame perfect, and now, you want to waste my time even more, with the audacity to not even create a setting for this? I guess my volunteer work is over. Goodbye.
Developer response
posted 4 months agoThere is a keybind for previewing exactly for this use-case. Just because you use `,` and `.` doesn't mean there can't be skipping issues. Remember, bad segments mean extra work for people moderating segments.
Goodbye - Rated 1 out of 5by NoonyaBeeznus, 4 months agoWorks well on YouTube, but breaks videos on other sites - in this case specifically Teachable courses. I'm not sure if it is something about the video player used (hotmart), but it blocks the player from loading in properly and returns a "Something went wrong" text in place of the video.
Issue was solved through Refreshing in Troubleshoot mode, as using regular Troubleshoot mode, uninstalling the add-on, and deleting browser preference data didn't work either.Developer response
posted 4 months agoThe SponsorBlock extension does not have access to any pages except for YouTube. It cannot possibly modify those pages. Another extension must be causing this. - Rated 1 out of 5by polios, 4 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Haze, 4 months agoEither I'm stupid or is missing the point. Or both. Same every 1 min youtube commercials destroying any type of previous youtube experience. I thought this add-on would remove just that??
Developer response
posted 4 months agoYou are missing the point. SponsorBlock is not a traditional ad blocker but for skipping times inside of YouTube videos when the creator themselves promotes a product. It does not skip ads by YouTube. It is meant to be used alongside uBlock Origin - Rated 1 out of 5by ParsaJR, 5 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18123981, 7 months agoAbsolutely tanks performance, to the point where watching a video on YT with this extension causes fans to spin like crazy, and the video frames start to stutter.
Developer response
posted 7 months agoThis might be it getting stuck in a loop skipping back and forth between two timestamps. Could you send the video it happens on? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14200416, 7 months agoDoesn't seem to be working anymore. I have a screenshot (https://imgur.com/a/tvPEZmR). Also is not working in Firefox on Windows and Mac. I also want to add that I did try and turn off all addons first. It is definitely SponsorBlock.
Developer response
posted 7 months agoThat notice has nothing to do with SponsorBlock. That is talking about adblockers. Extensions that can cause that include adblockers, ghostery, enhancer for youtube, and others. Developer response

Developer response
posted 7 months agoIt's not supposed to, use uBlock Origin for that. This is for skipping sections inside videos
