Features:

Permissions: Chrome will ask for permission to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". Speedtest also measures how fast websites load with Web Speed, and it uses this permission to know how long it takes a given website to load. You can disable Web Speed in the extension settings.

SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.

You can also skip over non music sections of music videos.
