How to use SponsorBlock in YouTube Vanced

After a lot of requests from the users, finally, SponsorBlock has been introduced in the YouTube Vanced edition. Thanks to the developers who consider user feedback seriously and make it possible to remove the annoying parts from the videos. Well, many don’t know about it and how to use it efficiently to skips the content that they don’t want to watch. In this article, we discussed things that everyone must know.

What is SponsorBlock?

SponsorBlock is the video content that is added by the YouTuber to endorse the product or service, and It is more likely an advertisement to earn extra cash. Generally, It is a browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox developed by Ajay Ramachandran. This Open-sourced add-on also supports skipping intros, outros, and any promotional content, but users need to educate the extension first.

Curious to know how it works? Well, At first, after you click on the YouTube video, the extension checks its database whether there are any segments that it needs to be skipped. Once it found any content that was submitted by the users before, it starts skipping automatically. If you think that there is still sponsor content left, then you can submit to make yourself useful.

Now, Vanced Team member JakubWeg has implemented the SponsorBlock in the YouTube Vanced android app. So, android users can get annoying free experience without using any addon supported browser. Also, saves millions of minutes from watching repeated content.
