SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships
 | This extension fast forwards videos past annoying sponsorship segments. It’s community driven, so once enough people report the sponsor segments, it will mark that segment of the video in green. When the play head reaches that part of the video, it will automatically skip forward! Install SponsorBlock for YouTube and you’re done! |
|---|
Return YouTube Dislike
 | Why did YouTube get rid of the dislike button? I have no idea. But this extension brings it back! And that’s it. Install Return YouTube Dislike and that’s it! |
|---|
BetterTTV
 | This extension is a must if you watch Twitch, especially for the drops as this extension automatically claims channel points bonuses, drops, and moments! |
