This app makes you skip all the most annoying things in YouTube Advertisements and others
YouTube is, without a doubt, one of the most popular video streaming platforms today, but the most annoying part of Google's service is that if you don't pay for the premium subscription, you'll have to endure watching the annoying ads that appear at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the video.
For this reason, today we are going to talk to you about the ultimate solution to enjoy YouTube without ads completely free of charge: a browser extension that allows you to skip annoying YouTube ads quickly and easily.
SponsorBlock is an open-source web browser extension that allows you to skip ads that appear on YouTube videos on your Android PC and mobile phone. The way this extension works is really simple: every time a user watches a YouTube video and an ad appears, they automatically skip it using an ad query system that also respects your privacy, since it doesn't collect data.
But SponsorBlock isn't limited to skipping ads, it can also block other elements of your YouTube video like intros or reminders to subscribe to the channel, which will allow you to access the essence of the video directly.
SponsorBlock is an extension compatible with a wide range of desktop web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Firefox, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Opera and can also be used on both Android and iOS.
To install SponsorBlock in your preferred web browser, simply enter the project website and click on the browser button you are using. In the case of Google Chrome, Opera and Firefox, this button will take you directly to the direct link of the extension in the respective Chrome and Mozilla extensions stores, while if you click on the Microsoft Edge and Safari buttons you will see the instructions you want to follow to install it in these browsers.
If you want to enjoy this extension on your Android mobile phone, just follow these simple steps:
- Access the SponsorBlock website from your Android smartphone

- Click on the Firefox Beta link and when Google Play opens, click on the Install button
