blocks starting at 0:00 not always skipping

[nullx8]

this is likely related to loading time and Javascript priorities.

when a video starts with a sponsor block the block is mostly not skipped or even displayed as the extension is still loading/initializing.

example: ubvpq6TulIw

possible fix to include negative starting time based on the loading time.
or treating the first x sec of the video as 0:00 when the extension loads.

What do you mean by this? Are there specific times when it never skips? It is skipping fine on my end

i made a few tests, it seems to be performance related, if the video plays before the extension is active, it will not skip if the block has already started.

as example if the block starts at 00:00 or 00:01 .. the browser lags behind and the extension becomes active at 00:03 the current block will not be skipped ot acknowledged by the extension, this happens only in this scenario, i tested multiple ways with timestamps or similar, where it never happend, this seems to be only to occur at the very beginning of the video and if the page is loaded too slow. (slow internet or local system load (i tested both))

The extension sometimes might not skip segments starting at 0:00.000.

@computerstimulation Unsubmitted segments behave a little differently than submitted ones, is this only happening for unsubmitted ones?
