That's good to know, though any modification to the Mullvad browser should ideally be done as a last resort to avoid fingerprinting.
Rather, is there a YouTube client that integrates with the SponsorBlock API?

https://piped.video/ on the web, LibreTube on Android.
I started searching myself and found that too, though I can't even get videos to play on the browser for some reason, even though the instance I tried works through Libretube, which I've been using for a good while now by the way and SponsorBlock is great on it!
I wonder if it's a web client bug
I like NewPipe x SponsorBlock on Android and piped.video for desktop
Also checkout freetube. It's a desktop application. It can be configured to use invidious instances.
AMAZING, thank you
I dont think piped skips in video ads, does it?
I know smartube app for android tvs works great though.
It does for me
Sponsorblock is built into piped.
I dont know. That would be great.
Its only the 2nd modification i found i needed. The other was i had to enable webauth so I could use my yubikey.
Apparently Piped would be it, but I couldn't get it to play back the videos at all on my browser so I can't say for sure.
Anyway yeah, I think that shouldn't be too bad, I guess you also have a second browser to "dirty up" with all kinds of configurations on the side
Alternatively, Piped has SponsorBlock built in. It also has DeArrow support, but I find it causes too much of a slowdown so I keep it disabled. Plus, since I only really watch from my subscriptions, clickbait is less of a worry for me.
My man was just looking for this you are a star thanks
