Extension summary

“This video was sponsored by…” SKIP.

SkipSponsor is a lightweight extension that detects sponsor segments in YouTube videos using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and displays a button that allows you to skip over them.

The detection is made by a Machine Learning model that was trained on the transcripts of over 300,000 videos, annotated by the crowd-sourced dataset SponsorBlock. The model itself is hosted on a server so all the computation required is done outside of the browser, keeping the extension as lightweight as possible.
