THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT BLOCK NORMAL YOUTUBE ADS, ONLY SPONSORS INSIDE VIDEOS. Use Adguard along with this extension to block both types. It also only works on the YouTube website, not the YouTube app.
Compatibility with the Vinegar extension
SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that let's anyone submit the start and end time's 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.
This is open source and the entire database is public.

This is one of the most useful extentions that there is, and I'm glad it's finally available for Safari. It just makes YouTube *so* much easier to watch. Not being innundated with baked-in sponsor ads for crap like Raid Shadow Legends has made my life much better.This review brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends.
So good, I want to switch back to Web on iPhone

This extension + dearrow elevate the YouTube viewing experience so much, that I've slowly started to switch back to viewing on the Web even on iPad and iphone. Truly great work here, and we'll worth the couple of bucks cost. If youtube premium gets another price hike, I'll probably switch over to this for mobile viewing full time.
Flawless

I had sponsor block in Chrome and this works just as well. It skips ads in content so well you won’t even notice it’s there.
Doesn't work anymore
beboooooop
dunno what happened, but the extension doesn't do anything anymore
Developer Response
Maybe safari automatically disabled it for you, or it could be that another extension such as Vinegar updated and caused an incompatibility
- Fix YouTube chapters sometimes not being shown in the timeline
