Considering how frequently the main server has been going down and having issues lately, perhaps the “SponsorBlock Server Address” setting could be be amended with fallback options?
This way, the user can specify one or more mirrors which can be used as fallback in the event that the primary server gives an error.
For example, let's say the following are specified:
Default primary server https://sponsor.ajay.app
Secondary server https://example.foo.bar (mirror)
Here it will first check the primary server just as before. But if there is an error returned in trying to retrieve the data, the extension can then check the secondary example.foo.bar server, which is acting as a mirror, and hopefully be able to retrieve the data from there instead.
One or two additional servers to be enough but more shouldn't hurt. The field(s) would probably be blank/disabled by default unless you wish to provide an official fallback mirror, my thinking is more to allow more savvy users to host or provide their own mirrors, or choose an existing 3rd party mirror, as a fallback instead of replacing the default server.
