Sponsorblock is one of the best things I have ever used in the last 5 years.

"You've saved people from 1,927 segments ( 16h 56.3 minutes of their lives )

You've skipped 5,500 segments ( 1d 9h 19.3 minutes )"

Absolutely ridiculous how much filler youtube is filled with to hit the 10 minute marks! I hope they never go down, it's a great free service.

On mobile phones we use vanced, on my nvidia shields we use smarttubenext. Both integrate with sponsorblock automatically.

You should use ReVanced, Vanced is a dead project. Luckily, ReVanced also has SponsorBlock support.

I didn’t know about this, just installed and it works amazing. I have premium but I hate the sponsor segments in the videos. If Google breaks this app, I’ll try out the iSponsorBlockTV but this is a better fit for my situation now.

Recommend this one too. I normally use an AppleTV for all my TV needs, but I bought a FireTV stick just to install this app and be able to watch YouTube without ads and sponsored content.

You can sideload a YouTube client with integrated sponsorblock on your AppleTV. But this will require apple developer account ($99 per year). Not q perfect solution and cost money but just wanted to say that is an option for people inside Apple ecosystem.

shield costs about $150 iirc

It's so good I sold my rokus and bought two shields just to use that software.

Worth noting that this works on any Android/Google TV box and Fire sticks, not just the Shield.

I highly recommend the newest Walmart 4K ONN streaming box (official Google TV), which is an absolute steal at <$20.

You prompted me to go through the FreeTube settings. SponsorBlock is just right there. I didn't even think to look for it. Amazing! Thanks.

I wonder how many of the open source clients have it built in.
