An extension that spots the sponsor read and skips it, live
Just trying out Jev, I made a Chrome extension that: - Listens to your YouTube audio (optional) - Detects if it gets to a sponsor segment - Skips it ➡️➡️➡️ - All in real-time while costing ~$0.005 per video Prototype project, BYOK, open-source: https://t.co/g4sPXR5kML…
Why it is here
An open-source extension that listens to a YouTube video, spots the sponsor segment and skips it, for roughly half a cent of model spend per video. Deciding against live audio rather than a transcript is the hard part, and the author published the code and its bring-your-own-key setup.
What we checked
- post read through the public syndication endpoint on 2026-09-24
- text, author, date and like count read from that response on 2026-09-24
- poster image stays on X's CDN; nothing downloaded or rehosted
What we did not check. We did not re-run the thing the post describes, so every figure on this page is the author's own and every claim is theirs — the note above is what we make of it after reading, not a measurement. The like count is a snapshot read on 2026-09-23 and it has moved since; 1,094 is what it said when we looked.
