I recommend you to sideload SmartTube on your TV, *if it has an Android-based OS. It works better than the official app in my opinion, and includes SponsorBlock.

I wish this was available on WebOS. I use it on my Shield and it's been flawless.

There are ways to do that for WebOS

Are Android smart TVs that popular nowadays? I mean few years ago I wouldn't assume Android TV when hearing about smart TVs

Probably depends on the country, but very popular.

Even Google Chromecast run AndroidTV these days.

Good point. I must confess that I haven't actualized my knowledge of smart TVs in a long time, so, specifying that the recommendation concerns only TVs with an Android based OS would be a good idea.
