Client
- Changed the way it detects when a page is not YouTube and prevented lastError.
Before, it attempted to communicate with the tab right when the popup was open. However, if the tab was not a youtube.com tab, it would not have the content script added to receive the communications. This was fixed by only sending a message when the popup knows the tab is ready.
- Made it not load the extension on the YouTube homepage and channel pages.
These pages don't have videos that need sponsors removed.
Added nice buttons to the popup
Made the sponsorships starts button update with the clear times button.
When you hit the "Sponsorship Starts Now" button, it transforms into "Sponsorship Ends Now", this should update whenever a change in what has been recorded has happened.
- Made the button's nice on the notice and added a notice about the timeout.
- Made it generate and submit a userID defining this user.
It uses a uuid generator and generates a uuid only if needed.
function getUserID(callback) {
if (userID != null) {
callback(userID);
}
//if it is not cached yet, grab it from storage
chrome.storage.local.get(["userID"], function(result) {
let userIDStorage = result.userID;
if (userIDStorage != undefined) {
userID = userIDStorage;
callback(userID);
} else {
//generate a userID
userID = generateUUID();
//save this UUID
chrome.storage.local.set({"userID": userID});
callback(userID);
}
});
}
Made time have a zero in front when it is less than 10 seconds.
Made submit times not appear when no end time was specified.
This makes the "Submit Sponsor Times" button only be visible when something can be submitted to the database.
- Added button on YouTube player and new icons to support that
By being a white icon, it does not stand out when in the player and looks normal.
Added option to hide the video player controls button in the popup.
Made options a hidden section in the popup.
Server
Added support for receiving a userID
Made the server save a hash of their ip with the data.
Added global salt for hashed ips
Added duplication check.
Made it save the time the data was submitted (in unix time)
Made error codes returned by the sever intuitive
It now reports correct codes such as error code 429 for a ratelimit.
- Made it so that each user can only submit 4 sponsorship segments per video
This should help prevent spammers and trolls.

Good updates on both server and client.
I see you create xmlHttp requests to 'localhost' hardcoded in the client. I guess that would be a public server address once this goes into wider use. Making it a configuration and defaulting it to a public instance may be better.
