Sponsorblock is one of the best things I have ever used in the last 5 years. "You've saved people from 1,927 segments ( 16h 56.3 minutes of their lives ) You've skipped 5,500 segments ( 1d 9h 19.3 minutes )" Absolutely ridiculous how much filler youtube is filled with to hit the 10 minute marks! I hope they never go down, it's a great free service. On mobile phones we use vanced, on my nvidia shields we use smarttubenext. Both integrate with sponsorblock automatically.

You prompted me to go through the FreeTube settings. SponsorBlock is just right there. I didn't even think to look for it. Amazing! Thanks. I wonder how many of the open source clients have it built in.

  It's so good I sold my rokus and bought two shields just to use that software.

    Worth noting that this works on any Android/Google TV box and Fire sticks, not just the Shield. I highly recommend the newest Walmart 4K ONN streaming box (official Google TV), which is an absolute steal at <$20.

  I didn’t know about this, just installed and it works amazing. I have premium but I hate the sponsor segments in the videos. If Google breaks this app, I’ll try out the iSponsorBlockTV but this is a better fit for my situation now.

  Recommend this one too. I normally use an AppleTV for all my TV needs, but I bought a FireTV stick just to install this app and be able to watch YouTube without ads and sponsored content.

    You can sideload a YouTube client with integrated sponsorblock on your AppleTV. But this will require apple developer account ($99 per year). Not q perfect solution and cost money but just wanted to say that is an option for people inside Apple ecosystem.

You should use ReVanced, Vanced is a dead project. Luckily, ReVanced also has SponsorBlock support.
