    NewPipe blocks Youtube from showing you video ads in the middle of your videos.

    Sponsorblock skips the sponsored ad reads, engagement farming, intro segments, etc that the creator puts in the videos themselves.

      Witchcraft, I say!

      Thank you for the info, grabbed it from f-droid and replaced my newpipe shortcut. Can’t wait to see it in action.

        You can also install sponsorblock as a plugin in your desktop browser and add new segments that havent been marked yet. Its completely community based like a crowd sourced database of start-end timestamps with tags for what kind of segment it is.
