Extension summary

This Chrome extension automatically skips sponsored segments and advertisements in YouTube videos. It clicks the "Show Transcript" button on the video page to fetch the entire transcript, which is then analyzed to detect the start and end times of the sponsored segments.

Sponsored segments refer to advertisements included by the content creator within the video. The auto-skip feature has a timing accuracy of ±2 seconds, which may slightly affect the viewing experience.

Please watch the promo video to see how it actually works.
