SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension and open API for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about using a privacy preserving query system. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe, and skipping to the point with highlight.
I can confirm Emelia Hartford is no longer telling me to shave my balls.
I’ve been using SponsorBlock with YouTube Vanced for a while but didn’t realise it was also a browser extension.
I never used Vanced kinda missed the boat with that one just Enhancer, Sponsorblock is a game changer though. I’ve just installed Kiwi browser on mobile that allows instillation of Chrome extensions.
This is pretty useful too:
LOL you can submit your own segments as well
And think, that is what’s considered outside of the ad space…
The leader board is apparently serious business.
Remove ‘Shorts’ tab from left hand side.
Turn ‘Shorts’ into regular YouTube video format…with regular YouTube video url.
Physically remove all ‘Shorts’ from YouTube.
I’ve started a youtube block list of recommended news channels, I’m ‘just’ starting to get some results not warped by the algorithm.

I woke up to a zoomed in youtube sub page yesterday (oh the travesty) anyway, this returns it to normal if anyone else has the same problem…or just wants more rows.
Paste into ublock > settings > my filters, and change the number to what ever is required.
