Extension Usage Instructions

                        Skips through YouTube in-video sponsored segments by comparing closed captions against defined trigger words.

*Notes:*
- This extension requires use of YouTube closed captions to work
- Tab must be in focus

How it works:
- Ever x seconds, the extension will read the video captions
- If a trigger word is found in close proximity to a form of the word "sponsor", then we enter into a sponsored segment
- While in a sponsored segment, if the trigger word is re-encountered or we encounter a word from the in-ad list, keep skimming through the video
