Description
Feature Request
Description
Add a built-in Skip Intro/Outro Credits feature, similar to SponsorBlock but covering categories that SponsorBlock doesn't handle well.
Currently SponsorBlock:
- Lacks dedicated Intro/Outro categories (Intro is treated as "intermission")
- Has limited coverage for older/less popular videos
- Can ban users who mark sections as intro under wrong categories
Preferred behavior
- Auto-skip intro sequences
- Auto-skip outro/credits sequences
- Option to manually mark sections (crowdsourced or local database)
- Works for all videos regardless of popularity

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the extension's YouTube playback integration and reviewing how existing video-segment features work. Done should include automatic intro and outro/credits skipping, plus a way to mark sections manually for all videos.
