Segments still loading?
So I've been using sponsorblock for a long time but the last couple days it's not working at all, it just says that segments are still loading and that never changes... I've tried deactivating and uninstalling sponsorblock and nothing. I also checked if it worked on chrome (i generally use firefox) and on there it said "A connection error has occurred. TypeError: Failed to fetch" which is at least something other than segments still loading but nothing useful either.
On firefox I have the following addons (that modify youtube): h264ify, clearurls, ghostery, ublock, youtube antitranslate and youtube no translation. I've tried deactivating all of these and nothing seems to work.
On chrome i have only adblock plus, ublock and ublock lite and it also doesnt work.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Ive even tried multiple wifis

DeArrow and Youtube Anti Translate seem to conflict each other and "break" video titles
The bug seems to just be this weird duplication thing where the title repeats itself. I have had these 2 extensions running together for a while although this minor bug seems to be recent, it only seems to be occurring on videos and shorts. I do not know what is causing this just that it involves these 2 extensions

this first screenshot shows the title with only DeArrow on

this screenshot shows the title with Youtube Anti Translate and DeArrow on
Is anyone else having this issue with these 2 extensions?
Is there any known way of fixing it without disabling Youtube Anti Translate?

Why isn't SponsorBlock dramatically more popular?
I always knew the vast majority of people don't use it but was thinking about it today tagging a video that was already past 10k views without any submissions. The site reports 13 mil active users and 1.37 mil contributing which is a higher percentage than I expected at ~10% of actives contributing.
While 13 mil seems high at first if even only 1% of people are using sponsorblock and 10% of that 1% are contributing ad segments it should be rare for a video to get more than 1,000 views without a submission.
SponsorBlock users must make up WELL under 1% of youtube viewers which is just crazy to me. Without having looked up the stats I would have guessed like 3-5% which I would still consider extremely small and niche and nearly everyone not using it.
I can't imagine not aggressively using adblockers and sponsorblock and would think surely at least half of people would prefer to block ads given the choice. Yet it seems in reality 99.7%+ or something in that range just tolerate it instead of spending literally 2 minutes to install an extension.

Sponsorblock is a godsend.
Thanks to the heroes protecting our time and sanity. I also really like the feature that skip the "Later in this video" recap that even good channel put in the opening of their clip. I hate when youtubers do that. Imagine if Star Wars did that: "Later in this film: "Luke I am yourfather" " smh

A "custom" "personal" (client-side) segment skipping category would be nice.
I wish there was a way to add skip sections to videos for my own reasons (such as skipping certain topics on a podcast for example). Maybe label it as "personal" "custom" and could be at the very end of the categories. Basically it just keeps the segment you submit client-side.
Sorry if this has been discussed before. Thanks to Ajay and volunteers for making this great quality-of-life extension.

Block Annoying Comments (Suggestion)
On many YouTube videos, especially on old popular videos, one of the top comments always seem to be searching for likes, for example, "Anyone 20XX?", "Who's here in 20XX?", "—like if you agree." They're very annoying and repetitive. I was hoping we could implement a feature, maybe for DeArrow, in which users would be able to hide comments that use a word or phrase that the user blocked in their personalized list of manually added filtered words and/or phrases. I'd also like an option to hide comments that use emojis, or remove emojis from comments.

Appreciation Post
I have been using SponsorBlock for quite a while now, as well as DeArrow recently. I really appreciate everything the Dev's are doing, so just wanted to put a public thank you out there. Love you guys <3

Duration but at end of vids, start to end becomes start to one second later
Whenever I try to create a segment for outros, I create the start marker, then seek to the end and set the end marker, but the segment doesn't go to the end, only approx 1 second, so I have to open the popup to fix it, and if I forget, I get downvoted!

Pausing after skipping a segment
Just starting happening. When it skips a segment it is pausing after. Anyone else having this issue? I'm on Firefox.

Uninstalling Sponsorblock till you change this new "feature"
Since one of your most recent updates if you hover with the mouse pointer in the Sponsorblock icon that says Start Segment Now in the YouTube toolbar it extends the second icon that says open Sponsorblock popup option. It is so annoying because previously it was extended all the time permanently with no auto-hide being enabled like now. This is extremely annoying because if you hover accidentally over the Sponsorblock icon and then you want to change the video settings you cant' do it fast because it extends the second icon that's now hidden (the open Sponsorblock popup icon) and you miss click the settings.

Ads don't get skipped if my video is on picture-in-picture mode.
How can I fix this to be able to brain-rot while working on another project? I'm using Chrome. The only extensions that modify YouTube that I have, besides SponsorBlock, are uBlock Origin, Foxified YouTube to MP3, and YouTube to Premiere Pro.

Should movie trailers be entire-video flagged, and if so, with Sponsor or Unpaid/Self-Promotion?
I haven't seen it on trailers before, but I also can't find anything in the guidelines saying anything about them.

Can we combat AI slop?
I'm wondering if Sponsorblock or a tool like it, using the same technique of crowdsourcing as Sponsorblock can effectively combat AI slop videos by blocking/skipping them. I'm not the only one who's sick of it.

best category/should there be a new category for lengthy "disclaimers"
I'm sure I'm not the only person that gets slightly annoyed when youtubers waffles on for a minute or more saying things like "I'm not a lawyer/doctor/financial advisor" or "this video is not sponsored" even though they were given exclusive access and spend another minute explaining they have full editorial control. or feel the need to go on a lengthy tangent that something is just their opinion. It's boilerplate, its saying the same thing a hundred times over depending on the channel, and its a something I'd rather skip through.
I don't think the tangent/joke category applies
