It automatically activates YouTube's available Skip Ad controls, mutes and accelerates non-skippable ads, and can skip creator sponsorship segments using SponsorBlock community data.
The extension does not use the debugger permission, does not execute remote code, and does not collect personal user data.
SponsorBlock lookups use a privacy-preserving SHA-256 hash-prefix request rather than sending the full YouTube video ID.
