- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18682320, 2 months agoThis morning, the block function suddenly stopped working on all YouTube pages. There are other people who have reported the same issue, so I hope that the functionality will be restored as soon as possible.
- Rated 4 out of 5by jigglysackles, 5 months agoHad a great experience with this add-on. Would really like it if there was a way to block Short channels. Not ALL shorts, just channels like the normal videos. Fingers crossed that comes in the future! I've blocked so many channels though and it's made my yt so much better.
- Rated 4 out of 5by kergelan, 5 months agoGood for blocking videos that I keep getting that I don't want to watch, though it would be nice if there was a setting that would still allow you to see the videos in search.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ジョンスミス, 5 months agoFirst of all, I really thanks to Author.
But this add-on,some time doesn't work.
I tried to find reason...
I suspect “Interfering with another add-on?”
and check all add-on, but I couldn't find why.
If it worked perfectly, All people wold Release from shameless ad movie and unpleasant face of youtuber,
make us heart be in paradise.
実におしいです・・・。 - Rated 4 out of 5by frikdt, 9 months agoI have been using this for a little more than a week. On the plus side, I very much like the convenience of blocking titles/channels directly via the context menu, combined with the power of regex filters for getting rid of those pests that can be matched by a pattern and would otherwise keep cropping up like stubborn weeds; and finally some other very useful features such as blocking those intolerable shorts, and settings import/export capability. The downside, and reason for me not rating 5 stars, are the fact that some previously blocked titles still seem to slip through occasionally, and that updated filters do not get applied to the feed page without a reload - Channel Blocker (the only other extension that comes close IMO, but lacking several of the nice features of this one) manages to do that, so it certainly is possible.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14568598, 10 months agoFantastic Extension, but I wish I could filter my own channel from the list of blocked keywords!
- Rated 4 out of 5by orangedeal, a year agoThe impression is that the extension stopped working normally after the update. I hope the author will make it possible to add channels to the blacklist by name, not ID. It's better than nothing.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Oliver, 2 years agoApparently, it works. But I'll admit I have no idea how to block SEVERAL different keywords in the video's title. I only observed it successfully blocked one.
Anyone knows, please? - Rated 4 out of 5by Craig, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by displayname33, 2 years agoI'm getting some compatibility issues when I use this together with Enhancer for Youtube. Otherwise, this is a great add-on.

- Rated 4 out of 5by BlohoJo, 3 years agoBlocking channel names with simple names will block all channels with that name as part of the channel name (example: blocking a channel called "Cars" will also block "Fast Cars", "Bad Cars, etc.). Solution is to block by channel ID. But the plugin has no place or way to enter notes for channel ID's. If you block 50 channels, how are you going to remember what all 50 channels are by their ID hash, which is only what BlockTube will show? Solution would be to have a notes option for each channel ID, or even a way for the plugin to fetch the name of the channel at the time of blocking. So there's no solution for this right now other than to keep notes in a separate text file. Not ideal.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17305864, 3 years agoYou would think there'd be plenty of ways by now for something as simple as "block a channel / block content by keyword", but this almost unknown addon is the only one that gets the job done. I only discovered it after installing the video-blocker add-on (which doesn't work at all) and after seeing a review for that addon that mentioned the blocktube. Please make this available on Firefox Android as well!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Elfpvke, 4 years agoWorks once I figured it out - trying wildcards like *channel* didn't work, I had to remove the asterisks.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Seth Falco, 4 years agoOverall the extension works, though the UI could probably be improved. ^-^'
Just a note for others, by default if you block a channel, then even if you access a direct link to it like from a message, you won't be able to watch it. If this isn't what you want, just enable "Enable suggestions hide-only mode" in the settings, then the channel won't appear in your feed or search results, but direct links will still work. - Rated 4 out of 5by Tag, 5 years agoI gave it 4 stars, because it seems to take a while to actually start blocking keywords. I can't figure out why, but there were clear misses when I first started using it today, but after a few hours and several additions to the key word list, it seems to be working. Thank heavens because YouTube's recommended feed is a dumpster fire.
- Rated 4 out of 5by matrixx2k, 6 years agoThis add-on is great, I can finally block all those annoying meme and clickbait videos scattered across YouTube without having it slowing anything down. However, there's no way to block playlists regardless if you've blocked the creator of the playlist. I really hope it's possible to add something like this in an update.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14207272, 6 years agoWorks well since last year. Stopped working today.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14258782, 7 years agoit works I just wish there was a option to not remove videos from channels you are already suscribed, other than that it does the job.
