- Rated 4 out of 5by frikdt, 9 months 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 4 out of 5by TrippyJing, 2 years 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 4 out of 5by Buff Froge, 2 years agoWorks perfectly with normal videos, but i wish it could work with youtube shorts channels too. When it does, i'll put 5 stars
- Rated 4 out of 5by MysticWolf, 3 years agoWorks fine in the long run, but now suddenly stop out of nowhere. Is there a reason to this? Like a limit of channels blocked? Still works to block channels you have no interest in, but kinda stopped blocking others after a long while.....
- Rated 4 out of 5by yd1, 4 years agocouldn't imagine youtube without this blocker!
thank you for saving us from evil and bad channels
Edit: Note some channels this add-on wont block you have to type channel name manually! - Rated 4 out of 5by IQman, 4 years agoonly 4 star because unable to toggle it on and off and X button suspiciously missing on "for you" tab

- Rated 4 out of 5by Sartorius, 4 years agoWorks, does exactly what it advertises, and easy to use! But may require an update; I'm no longer able to block the "Trending" channels.
- Rated 4 out of 5by andario2007, 5 years agoThis a GREAT addon, with excellent functionality.
My main problem, after using if for year or so (and not working for a while, now fixed), is that it slows down Youtube page loads to a crawl.
I´ve even tried moving my entire Youtube profile to a Ramdisk, to maximize speeds, and more often than not, I still get a top bar telling me "This addon is slowing down your browser", or something like that.
If you manage to make this FASTER, and more capable of reading hundreds/thousands of blocked channels, an addon worth paying for, indeed.
Cheers! - Rated 4 out of 5by Lacihtym, 5 years agoNo more james charles!! thank you!!!!
Edit: doesn't block things from showing on home page - Rated 4 out of 5by The_Oncoming_Storm, 5 years agoFINALLY! After trying out every single channel blocker above this one on the search list, I finally found one that works. now, let's see how LONG it works; before YouTube breaks it.
Just found out it's not compatible with the "restore old theme of youtube" addon. That will break it! "youtube classic" works though.
11/11/2019 The new YouTube update broke it and now the red x isn't showing up.
11/12/2019 Problem solved! Thank you so much to the devs at Time Machine Develpment for taking care of that so quickly.
12/24/2019 A script in the addon is causing firefox to lag. Irritating, but not game-breaking - Rated 4 out of 5by kudo_lelouch, 5 years agogreat replacement for video blocker but the only problem is that their is no way to import the 2000 channel i blocked from video blocker to this so i have to block one by one from the beginning
- Rated 4 out of 5by James, 6 years agoWorks fine on new Youtube but, it doesn't work with Classic Youtube add-on, which makes it pretty useless for me.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14484447, 6 years agonormal application, but you need to ask less rights for applications.
does not work instantly. need waiting a ~ two sec. it's not cool. in opera "you cleaver" triggered instantly.
I did not find any analogues in firefox.
