Ratings and Reviews

Needs more browser support.

Edge for iPhone with its bing chat support is a must have, so it would be good to be able to use this extension on Edge, and probably Chrome and Firefox too.

Developer Response ,

unfortunately that is not possible

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.

This app is great

This extension is good. Works nice on my pc and its nice on here, its worth buying. If it was free like on pc it be good but $5 is ok ill still get it.

This browser extension blocks YouTube sponsored ads

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

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 .

As I said before, there’s nothing wrong with this type of product placement. It’s different from other ads Google delivers, as your favorite creators might promote products you want to use. But it turns out there’s a way to block YouTube sponsored ads as well, and it’s available via a browser extension.

Found by Lifehacker , the SponsorBlock extension works on most browsers. The list includes Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, and Edge (and other versions of Chrome).

“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.

The extension’s settings let you disable automatic skipping. Or you can add intros and outros to the list of clip segments you’d want to avoid on YouTube. Furthermore, using the same extension, you can contribute to the list of skip segments for videos where the extension doesn’t work yet.

In addition to the browser, SponsorBlock might also work in third-party apps for Android and iPhone, as well as apps for Android TV.

That said, it’s up to you to decide how to watch YouTube and what ads to allow. Remember, though, that creators have to make a living. And ads, whether Google’s or product placement, are a part of that. As for installing extensions in your browsers , always make sure you get them from the official stores.

SponsorBlock

• View history

SponsorBlock is an open-source browser extension developed by Ajay Ramachandran which automatically skips sponsored segments and other types of disruptive segments within videos on YouTube . It was first publicly released on July 26, 2019. It is available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari (paid only), and all other Chromium-based browsers . It is not available for the YouTube mobile app, however it will work on certain mobile browsers accessing the YouTube mobile website (m.youtube.com). The extension allows users to report if any sponsored segments (among many other types of skippable segments) in a video exist, and provide timestamps which the extension can remove from the video. A weighted random distribution is used to ensure that user votes get evaluated fairly. [1]

However, the extension does not change the sponsorship in other parts of the video's page such as a pinned comment or the description, and viewers are allowed to rewatch the sponsor segments at the user's own will. There is a color coding section which can indicate what parts of the videos are sponsors, self-promotion, etc., and there are over 1.3 million active users of the extension. [2]

Some of the other categories that the extension classifies are Unpaid/Self Promotion, Interaction Reminder (Subscribe), Intermission/Intro Animation, Endcards/Credits, Preview/Recap, Music: Non-Music Section, and Highlight, [3] and there are rules and examples for each category's definition. Linus Tech Tips had a short segment which mentioned SponserBlock where he mentioned his point of view of the extension [4] which included the channel owner being able to guess where people would skip part of a video, and some other YouTubers have mentioned the extension before. [5] [6] There is also settings to change in the extension to view the various categories on the timeline along with changing the colors of the various categories that is represented in the timeline itself along with other various settings. SponserBlock is open-source and available on GitHub. [7]

Extension Spotlight: SponsorBlock for YouTube

Have you ever been engrossed in music or a great video when YouTube suddenly interrupts your experience to inject an ad? It’s jarring and ruins the mood of any moment.

“It made me really frustrated,” extension developer Ajay Ramachandran recalls about the first time he experienced an intrusive mid-play ad. “I remember seeing comments on videos that would say things like ‘1:22 is when the [ad] starts’, and that sparked the idea for SponsorBlock.”

A new SponsorBlock feature offers the ability to skip different types of unwanted sections like intros, outros, and those incessant pleas to subscribe to the channel. Ajay says future plans involve developing distinct section categories that will allow users to submit labels for different parts of the video, in case you want to skip forward or back to certain spots.

The SponsorBlock extension for Firefox is one of the more original content blockers we’ve seen developed in some time. It’s a perfect example of the creative problem-solving potential of browser extensions. So give SponsorBlock a spin and enjoy fewer interruptions while you let loose for your solo living room dance party set to YouTube music.

SponsorBlock – Skip Sponsorships on YouTube is part of Firefox’s Recommended Extensions program.

Lions have sex on top of safari truck full of people, wild video, roaring sex lions get busy on top of safari truck ... tourists take it all in.

A couple of lions felt the love so much that they started banging on top of a tourist safari truck ... and the people inside certainly got an eyeful and then some.

A group of tourists partaking in a South African safari were recently left stunned as 2 randy big cats made themselves at home atop their vehicle.

The male lion is seen mounting a resting female lion ... confirming their boinking session with a couple of growls. The jeep noticeably shakes from side to side as they do it ... sparking laughter and gasps from the tourists seated below.

The lions' intimacy didn't last too long ... with the lioness lying tired to the side as the king of the jungle eventually disconnected.

While the encounter may have given some tourists the ick on the spot ... it's significantly less scary than the African elephant attack from earlier this month -- which ended in a death.

No one died here ... just a couple of kitties getting laid!
