## Description

It uses <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/cc78e6731a8c8d8033479a82f5d96050c1391ebbd7a29c1166b4ca99171f770d/https%3A//theintrodb.org" rel="nofollow">TheIntroDB</a> to know when to show skip buttons. After install you’re ready to go: open a supported (or generic) streaming page and the extension will try to show skip buttons when timestamps exist. Optionally, set your <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/527e545356e12de2790af0f88ab0cd5af9e8d5bf7ecb6620b6ab895712a8d7a2/https%3A//theintrodb.org/docs" rel="nofollow">TheIntroDB API key</a> in the popup to <strong>submit</strong> timestamps right from the extension and to see your pending submissions.

Supported sites

These sites have dedicated extractors for the best experience:
<ul><li><strong>Netflix</strong></li><li><strong>HBO Max / Max</strong></li><li><strong>HDrezka</strong></li><li><strong>Apple TV+</strong></li><li><strong>Paramount+</strong></li><li><strong>Peacock</strong></li><li><strong>Plex</strong></li><li><strong>Prime Video</strong></li></ul>
<strong>Plus any site</strong> where the page has a TMDB ID in the URL (e.g. <code>/tv/12345/1/3</code>, <code>tmdb-tv-12345</code>, <code>/watch/12345</code>, <code>tmdb/12345</code>) or where the media title is visible. For those, the extension uses a <strong>generic extractor</strong> that parses the URL and page (e.g. <code>S01E03</code>, <code>1x03</code>, season/episode in path) to detect show, season, and episode. So many other streaming sites work without a custom extractor.
