Just installed and looks good so far except it's blocking videos that I didn't not flag to be blocked.

Feature request: an option to block "includes paid promotion" videos too.

Likely abandoned addon that has lost functionality as a direct result. Advertised features are no longer available.

Previously a very effective mod that did very well at blocking unwanted content or users from view. Presently, barely functional, requiring advanced knowledge of the Youtube environment to make work.

Excellent extension. The only way to block stupid videos from YouTube.

it was amazing but it stopped working :( will give better score again if fixed

This does not work. It used to work fine. It no longer works, it blocks nothing. Kind of useless.

A strange bug: after one day of working, YT suddenly recognizes it as an unwanted adblocker and disables playback, you have to remove cookies both from google.* and youtube.com. Also, the Block video option from the 3-dot menu seems to not hide a video.

Like I said - I am changing it back to 5 stars because it is working again. And it is AMAZING add-on, essential for me. Shields me from stuff I do not want to see ever again. Thank you!

Was a very good extension but it stopped working a few days ago.

Doesnt work anymore since october 2024

Amazing and very useful extension for blocking channels

It works! Now I can block annoying channels that post fake videos. Thanks!

Problem fixed. Thank you.

8 months ago, the add-on stopped working, then the authors worked tirelessly to fix it. It seems that youtube/google/alphabet just can't stand the idea of people having control over the endless disgusting slop oozing out of their website, because an update to youtube has broken this add-on once again.

I see some people saying that only the context menu has broken, but for my part, the entire add-on no longer functions at all. Oddly, the mobile version appears to still be working...

At this point, I wouldn't blame the contributors for giving up on this sisiphean chore. I certainly hope not! I want to stress how good this add-on is, WHEN it's working, in that youtube is so much more tolerable when you aren't being bombarded with gross-out bait videos, propaganda, or 'exclamation and arrow' spam. Sometimes you don't hate a channel, but get nothing but recommendations for that person... and you just want to filter your search results temporarily.

This tool is amazingly versatile, and I think indispensable in taming our increasingly corporatized internet.

This used to be an essential add-on, but starting several months ago context menu blocking broke for comments. And now context menu blocking is fully broken for videos and channels too. I can still block the channels by manually adding them by name or ID (which is a pain to find/extract), but this is an unacceptably slow process. I really hope the dev finds the time to fix it.

Не работает!!! Перестал работать и в ФФ и в Опере!

Worked great for a long time, then YouTube changed something and it doesn't work at all. Hopefully the author will fix it soon.

Isso não funciona

Used it for a long time but since october 1. it does absolutely nothing anymore. it just stopped working.

was working and then it started just not. didnt update anything, nothing changed, it just stopped working. thanks for nothing.

This add-on is the best thing since sliced bread. You heard me right!
BUT, Youtube temporarily broke it around Oct 1, 2024 by changing an API to further their war against ad blockers.
Seriously, the ONLY reason this add-on is not more popular is people don't know about it. I have almost complete control of what YT decides to throw in my face - wonderful!

It makes YT usable again.
Many heartfelt thanks to the author!

edit: the bug affecting context menu blocking mentioned below was fixed (v. 0.4.4.).

if you experience youtube disabling playback due to blocktube: make sure to uncheck the "Disable YouTube's audio loudness normalization" setting in blocktube.
-----------------------------
the addon works great until youtube makes changes and breaks its functionality.

currently (v. 0.4.3.) the option to click the three dots beside a video and choose to block a video or channel is broken.

manually typing the video/channel id into the blocking filters still works.

the content that was blocked earlier by video/channel title, and video/channel id is staying blocked and the blocking of shorts also still works.

advanced blocking still works.

the addon needs an update to fix current bugs.
