Gregory Saenko (Green Eyesman) (ID: 00000090045e86e0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/18/2024 Отличная вещь. Не блокирует креативную рекламу от самих авторов, но зато убирает всю остальную бесполезную для пользователей рекламную похабщину. Такое бы ПО да еще и для Дзена. Если у кого-то расширение перестало работать: попробуйте его удалить и заново установить.

Jordan (ID: 00000053fa063feb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/27/2024 This is awesome. at first it wasn't working but restarted youtube and it started working, so im happy now i don't have to be bothered with people mentioning sponsor's all i can say is thanks. This extension is great, never thought you could skip those sponsor stuff people always mentions just for money

qinn1996 (ID: 000000fc4a69ef7c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2024 absolutely ESSENTIAL extension. I also recommend "uBlockOrigin", "AdBlock" and "Adguard", all very good ad blockers. Also "YouTube nonstop", "return youtube dislike" "unhook" and "no youtube shorts". Makes for the perfect YouTube experience.

ThunDerd (ID: 000000691e2e8322) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/26/2024 Works great for skipping stupid raid shadow legends sponsors, but sometimes just decides not to work randomly. Like some videos, it auto skips fine, and others it just takes the day off. And yes, I have the settings set to auto skip and sometimes it does or it doesn't skip the same "type" of skip. Regardless of the minor inconvenience/bugs, 1000% would recommend since I can't harp enough about how annoying integrated sponsor segments of YT videos have become.
