- Rated 2 out of 5by Kinne, 7 years agoImporting doesn't work. I had over 5,000 filters. Backed them up, cleared the list to do some trouble shooting, imported the list, and nothing.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13944859, 7 years agoChannels that I supposedly blocked are suddenly visible again and won't stay blocked!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Novadestin, 7 years agoSo far, this add-on has worked well and does what it's supposed to. There are a couple of issues with it though:
1. It slows down YouTube/causes YouTube to not work properly - I have noticed that when this add-on is running it takes much longer for YouTube search results to load (like a noticeable wait and I only have 2 channels blocked). The same kind of delay happens when loading an individual channel. It's certainly not something that would stop be from using this add-on, but definitely something that could be worked on.
2. I have to disable this add-on to see my YouTube notifications! - This is definitely a pain in the arse and needs to be fixed. If this add-on is enabled and I click the bell to see my notifications, it is completely blank. Once I disable this add-on, I am able to see my notifications just fine.
Other than that, thank you to the creator for providing such a much needed add-on! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13373699, 7 years agoAdded the first channel I listed but doesn't add any more.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lil_king420, 7 years agoVideo Blocker seems to block EVERYTHING on youtube. And i haven't even added anything to the blocklist yet. Got some work to do.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Finn, 7 years agoit seems to be working. But not always. you tend to have to refresh the page sometimes to make it work sadly. was a great extension when it worked.. hope this gets fixed
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13937699, 7 years agoSeems Video Blocker is password protecting itself. It's asking for a password but I haven't set it. I can't see any info about setting the password in the faqs either. It does block all the videos though. I want to block certain channels not youtube entirely. Any advice?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13914218, 7 years agoThis add-on is the only one I found that does what it does. and the performance has enhanced recently.
sometimes YouTube puts video recommendations/popular videos with annoying or offensive thumbnails and I like the idea that I can remove these from my YouTube homepage without the need to login to YouTube . - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13808270, 7 years agoIt blocks everything properly, but whenever I first load a youtube page, it freezes firefox.
I have 1200 blocked items, but it worked perfectly fine before without a hitch. :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13906634, 7 years agoBarely works. Every single "blocked" channel eventually appears again in my recommended videos.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Shajirr, 7 years agoUnfortunately I found one problem which made this addon unusable - it completely wipes out all Notifications, they just don't load at all. Everything else seemed to work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mekronid, 7 years agoIt worked for the ONE GODDAMN VIDEO I wanted to block. Why Youtube spams me constantly with the same gross sex music video is beyond me. I only want to listen to, like, normal music. Thank you so much for making my experience 1000% better.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13888172, 7 years agoIt used to be better... but now it not always blocks the keywords... usually i have to refresh the page for it to block what it was supposed to block in the first place

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13147762, 7 years agoI'm not sure why the other reviews are low, this works with the new YouTube dark theme. I haven't seen any thumbnail problems or stuttering. Latest Firefox version 59 stable.
- Rated 2 out of 5by gunns, 7 years agoBesides the fact that everyone has already pointed out about the thumbnails being gone. I have a different issue. Stuttering during video playback on any flash or html 5 video. Just to make absolutely sure it was this add on I first restarted firefox in safe mode, stuttering gone. Then one by one I disabled an add on until the stuttering and thumbnails returned. It was this one, please fix I really enjoy blocking certain youtube channels from my children.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13850349, 7 years agoDoesn't work at all.. turn it on and it blocks EVERYTHING.
