What is the name of the chrome extension, I'm not getting ads right now for some reason, but if I do it'll be handy to know about.

https://sponsor.ajay.app/ it’s a clever little tool it relies a user initially tagging the start and end of a video section which then gets added to the database, then that section get’s automatically skipped for everyone else.

try this one if you look at the timeline you will see different colours indicating where there are things it has been told to skip.

I have been using this alternative YouTube app on my fire sticks for ages.
I got totally sick to death of the constantly repeated inane irrelevant adverts plus this tool also strips out intros and the sponsored BS and lies sections.

The sponsor block part of the tool is available as a separate chrome add in as well so I also use it on my PC.

This is an interesting channel sometimes

This vid is quite clever as he diagnoses an issue other garages couldn't fix, but he reckons one of them created the problem trying to diagnose the original problem by probing with a meter into a connector, but the probes were too big and opened up the internal connections so they didn't properly connect inside the plug, he messed with them and made them tight again and solved the problem.

Never had any problems with my car.

I tend to avoid most Yank channels they tend to be way too loud and ott.
Effective diagnostic techniques are very much gained via acquired experience over an extended period of time.

Occasionally I watch 'DiagnoseDan' who is quite methodical when fault finding customers vehicles.
I guess his channel interests me because what he does albeit at a simpler level, is similar to the work I did for 13 years as a Test Engineer at what was then GEC Avionics in Rochester.

Strangely, I don't watch the vanlife blogs much. I find many of them to be kind of fake with manufactured content and clickbait titles such as "That's it, I'm quitting" or "Selling the van immediately" when they have no intention if doing anything of the kind
