    Use the front-end Piped, it block ads, restrictions, jumps sponsor blocks and even intros, or use uBlock Origin

      I’ve used uBlock Origin for years. That’s the adblocker in-video ads are circumventing.

        No such problems here, update the filters, maybe it solve the problem, Anyway, using Piped all of this crap is blocked.

          How will the filters cut out or skip the part of the video where the host themselves promote a product in the video itself?

            Sponsor blocks carry a signal encoded in the video, through the googlevideoAPI, to allow YouTube Premium users to skip them. This is intercepted by Piped and by extensions like SponsorBlock, while other front ends, like instances of Invidious, which are based on the googlevideoAPI, block ads, but cannot do so with sponsorblocks.
