- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12011018, 2 years agoI swear to God. Nearly constant "Error Code 503" lately.
Interesting idea but this app is rapidly going from half useless to utterly useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14284450, 2 years agoExcellent Extension, BUT the servers are more down than available! Last 4 weekends the servers are down every time I watch something on YT.
If the server is available = must have.
if not = useless.
"The server seems to be overloaded. Try again in a few seconds. Error Code: 502
Check status.sponsor.ajay.app for server status." - Rated 1 out of 5by Pinky_Bat, 2 years agoStopped working 10/19/2022. Now it just says, "A connection error has occurred: error code 503." Please fix. 😢

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17370110, 3 years agoSadly, this stopped working about a month ago. Using the latest Firefox available for Debian based Linux distro "MX Linux 19.4"
Normally, I love this addon, but right now it literally does nothing. It doesn't even highlight sponsored spots within the videos.
PS: Despite being a Linux user, I am not an IT expert, a programmer etc etc. I'm just an average Joe who hates Windows & Mac, so.... There's that. :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by mfvhr591, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16963471, 4 years agoGreat idea, terrible execution. Instead of actually allowing you to skip what you want, certain videos from certain channels are allowed to bypass this entirely and they will show you their ads regardless. STOP ALLOWING YT CHANNELS TO PAY OFF THIS DEVELOPER
Edit: To be specific, whenever you try to skip a certain segment on certain videos the message is displayed:
"New submissions are not allowed for the following category: 'sponsor'. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly."
Thanks moderator, you made the decision for the community. Why even bother having one then?Developer response

Edit: If you think a video was locked incorrectly, send a message on discord. You are probably referring to either self promotion or fully sponsored videos that need their disclaimers shown to show bias. No one is paying me, we just are trying to not spread misinformation - Rated 1 out of 5by displaynayme, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16744781, 4 years agoWorks great if you don't need the whitelist function; if you do, seems to depend on whether the addon is having a good day or not.

posted 4 years agoThe issue seems to be that the extension doesn't have permission to the domain used for getting the YouTube video info. The next update adds a check for it and will then prompt a permission prompt. The current workaround is to give it access to all sites: https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/issues/611#issuecomment-801579094
Next update is still WIP, but that part is already implemented if you want to clone from source: https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/pull/690 - Rated 1 out of 5by Camto21, 4 years ago
