by Firefox user 16963471, 4 years agoGreat idea, terrible execution. Instead of actually allowing you to skip what you want, certain videos from certain channels are allowed to bypass this entirely and they will show you their ads regardless. STOP ALLOWING YT CHANNELS TO PAY OFF THIS DEVELOPER
Edit: To be specific, whenever you try to skip a certain segment on certain videos the message is displayed:
"New submissions are not allowed for the following category: 'sponsor'. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly."
Thanks moderator, you made the decision for the community. Why even bother having one then?

Edit: If you think a video was locked incorrectly, send a message on discord. You are probably referring to either self promotion or fully sponsored videos that need their disclaimers shown to show bias. No one is paying me, we just are trying to not spread misinformation

- Rated 1 out of 5by SVT, 21 hours agoit completely BREAKS youtube UI and all the thumbnails of videos that should display they automatically disappear.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Mirnov, 2 days agoВітаю, було б непогано, якби ви додали функцію прискореного перемотування фрагментів, замість пропуску. Я не знаю чому, але іноді відео зависає після пропуску, і доводиться перезавантажувати вкладку браузера.

Hello, it would be nice if you added a feature for accelerated fast-forwarding of segments instead of skipping. I don't know why, but sometimes the video freezes after skipping, and I have to reload the browser tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by Elaeudanla, 2 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18942662, 6 days agoA recent update broke the video preview feature. When you hover over a video on the youtube homepage, it just plays the first half second of the video over and over in a loop.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Chills Multiplying, 19 days agoI installed it two joyous days ago. It just works. It's right up there with uBlock, and Enhancer for YouTube.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Taz, 20 days agoAlmost as important as UBlock Origin. An amazing extension, highly recommend.
