Read the full description
SponsorSkip is a Chrome extension that reads a video's captions with AI, finds the creator's sponsor read and skips it while you watch. Unlike community tools, it never waits for someone to tag the video, so it works on brand-new uploads. In our test on 20 new videos it skipped 95% of sponsor time automatically. Segments show on YouTube's progress bar, the side panel has a searchable transcript, and one click undoes any skip. First 20 videos free.
