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.

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.
