Most sponsor skippers rely on other viewers to mark where the ad starts and ends, so a new video has nothing to skip. This Chrome extension reads the captions instead and sends one request to Jev as the page opens.
Jev scores every 30-second slice for how likely it is to be a sponsor read, and the seek bar fills with coloured slices a moment later. Faint slices are unsure and never skipped. Solid ones are skipped automatically.
The author measured it catching 77 percent of the sponsor time viewers had marked across 23 videos, for well under a cent per video. You build it yourself and paste in your own TypeSafe key.
