Maybe someone can make a SponsorBlock fork now that it's open source.

  I hope uBlock Origin integrates it. The real feature is the database of time stamps relating to sponsored content, just like ad blocker filter lists.

    Is it based off of a database? Even fairly small YouTube channels seem to work with sponsor block as soon as the videos are uploaded. I always assumed YouTube requires creators to mark which sections are sponsored, and sponsor block has some way of looking that up.

      According to Wikipedia, the data is sourced from users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SponsorBlock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SponsorBlock > The extension relies on a user-submitted database to identify sponsorships in videos. > Extension users can submit segments in videos and vote on segments others have submitted.

      Yeah, it's crowdsourced and user-moderated. It's open source, including all of the data. https://sponsor.ajay.app/about https://sponsor.ajay.app/about https://api.sponsor.ajay.app/database https://api.sponsor.ajay.app/database
