- Rated 4 out of 5by frikdt, 16 days agoWorks well enough for me. I've been using it for about a week now and have blocked many unwanted videos and channels. I would've given it full marks but for two things: Having to open configuration and add a regex becomes a chore, and I wish that blocked channels & videos could also have fed through to youtube's native 'Not interested' & 'Don't recommend channel' functions.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Spluck, 4 months agoUsed to be great. Now it does absolutely nothing at all in Firefox.
- Rated 3 out of 5by orangedeal, 4 months agoSome channels cannot be blocked - there is no cross. I have to add them manually to the configuration file and then import it. But after adding, they will still appear (as related channels)
- Rated 5 out of 5by SiegeSquirrel, 5 months agoWorks like a charm, doesn't impede my experience at all. Great for removing unwanted drama-stirrers from the ol' recommended.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14025831, 6 months agoUse to be wonderful. But, while I can still block channels, which is great, it has started to hide any random channel when I type it in the search box... that have not been blocked... which is becoming increasingly frustrating ... but it hasnt been updated in over a year, so this might not be fixed ...

- Rated 3 out of 5by ValuableHorses, 7 months agoPreviously a five-star rating, but doesn't seem to affect comments by blocked parties anymore, which was my primary reason for using it. A shame, as it was effective and convenient for that previously.
For other purposes, it may still work fine. - Rated 5 out of 5by Generic Schlub, 8 months agoA genuine game changer. It makes the site actually good. I spent a couple hours putting in keywords and going through manually blocking channels when I first installed it and Youtube is now a completely different website. There are no videos of news, NSFW content, mindrot tik tok style content, reddit content, drama, stupid trends, kids content, memes, and so much more on the site now that I've installed this extension.
I've managed to turn youtube into a glorified documentary/video essay website with some gaming, book reviews, and game/book lore content mixed in.
I can't recommend this extension highly enough. It also barely uses up any resources on my PC to run. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kindle, 8 months agoLove this! I'm able to look through the replies while seeing almost no bots, finally!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Shellyoung, a year agoЭто абсолютно нужное расширение. YouTube не имеет функцию блокировки каналов, что удивляет меня. То количества мусора, которое загружается в YouTube, включая правительственную пропаганду, может свести с ума.
- Rated 5 out of 5by The Ingredient Island, a year agoGreat for getting rid of clickbaity channels Youtube LOVES to push in front of your face.
- Rated 4 out of 5by TrippyJing, a year agoIt both made my Youtube experience both better and worse. On one hand, I was able to stop certain channels from constantly being recommended to me or showing up in my search results. On the other hand, it slowed the site down considerably.
If that problem could be solved, this add-on would be perfect. - Rated 5 out of 5by Desempare, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by GC Zyre, a year agoBlocking 16,785 channels so far, and this addon is still working like a champ. I block about 20 channels per day. The only thing that takes FOREVER is if I try to export/import my addon settings... lol. This, in conjunction with SponsorBlock, uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker, Enhancer for YouTube, and the fact I don't have a google account so I never log in, my youtube experience is PERFECT!
- Rated 5 out of 5by jamvaru, a year agoMy favorite addon, although i use others that are 'essential', which i would have to choose first, but this one is most important for my daily browsing on youtube, as I could manually skip ads, or ignore tracking, or remember my passwords, or get used to white background.
. there are many BS youtube channels that are just so mediocre or legitimately fake/false.
Need ONE thing though, curated lists of things to block, like an adblocker. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mojo, a year agoDoesn't work. Blocked channels get past the blacklist and then the X button to block them is greyed out since you have previously added them to the list.
