Had no idea Newpipe was that much more stable, responsive, and faster than it's fork. Wasn't hard to decide to uninstall the fork. Don't even miss sponsorblock.

The official NewPipe just had the 0.26 release, which the Sponsorblock-version hasn't been rebased on yet.

So, yeah, if you're already using the 0.26 version, you might just have to wait a week or two for similar improvements to land in the fork.

If this is the right Github, the sponsorblock fork has been archived as of Dec 29th. Does that mean the project is finished/on pause?

Hmm, that is the repo linked from F-Droid, yes.

The README does say "Development has stopped" and they put that text into there last week.

They also linked to their discussion of "Tubular", which seems like an idea for an enhanced NewPipe x Sponsorblock. An idea from a year ago, but I guess, if they refer to it now, that's planned.

I could imagine that they decided to wait where the NewPipe rewrite is going and then implement Tubular on top, so it may be paused in that sense.

There appear to be multiple forks of NewPipe x Sponsorblock which have successfully updated on top of NewPipe 0.26.1, but yeah, no idea if any of these have aspirations to be the official repository where IzzyOnDroid pulls from...
