Thought this might be helpful to others who use Mullvad Browser.

Got to the advanced preferences and set webextensions.storage.sync.enabled to true.

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?

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

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.

Also checkout freetube. It's a desktop application. It can be configured to use invidious instances.

AMAZING, thank you

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.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

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.
