Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Skips through YouTube in-video sponsored segments by comparing closed captions against defined trigger words.

Notes:

This extension requires use of YouTube closed captions to work
Tab must be in focus

How it works:

Ever x seconds, the extension will read the video captions
If a trigger word is found in close proximity to a form of the word "sponsor", then we enter into a sponsored segment
While in a sponsored segment, if the trigger word is re-encountered or we encounter a word from the in-ad list, keep skimming through the video
