I would love to find extensions that make me think “How did I live without this?”

Does it have exceptions? I watch Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik; the sponsored segments are usually the highest production value skits and are hilarious as fuck. Wouldn’t want to block the new season of Knobbleberry.

On the desktop browser, SponsorBlock also has a “Whitelist Channel” – it’s near the top of the SponsorBlock popup. Open the popup and you can add any channel you know you want everything from, while silencing the rest. Great add-on, IMO.

Also has categories and options to auto skip or ask you to skip each catagory. A sponser is sponser. You can choose to also skip intros, recaps, end credits, self promotions (buy my shirt), or skip straight to the highlight of the video (great for the tutorial videos that are 5 minute back story and 10 second answer).

Also consider an extension made by the same person, DeArrow. This one crowd sources non click-bait titles and thumbnails (using a screenshot from the video).

Instead of “You won’t belive they are keeping the technology to them selves” with a thumbnail of some dude, mouth wode open, pointing to a flying car next to some celeb.

You’ll see “Bob talks about AI images and his theoriess that aliens are hired by the government to do the ‘Ai’ work.” with a thumbnail showing some random dude streaming.

I thought so too, but then I tried it and I really hated it. If you find yourself getting recommended a bunch of clickbaity videos, then maybe it would be something you’d like, but I tend to block those types of creators so I don’t really see them, so all dearrow ever did for me was make the titles and thumbnails of some of the videos I normally would watch really boring and bland. I trust someone like Tom Scott or Smartereveryday to not use their titles and thumbnails to lie to me to fool me into watching their videos, and since those were the only types of creators that were being affected by dearrow for me, I found it worse when seeing their videos in my recommended list. I personally don’t mind watching a video titled “Why Blue LEDS were really hard to create” instead of seeing something like “This video is about how different colored LEDS were created” with some bland screenshot showing an assembly line of lights or whatever.
