- Rated 3 out of 5by flashwitt, 2 days agoI mean... it does what it says it does, but would be a lot better if the notice that it's blocked a video didn't INCLUDE the word it was blocked because of, IN BOLD PRINT. So... there's words I don't want to see/hear in videos... and you feel the need to ANNOUNCE the thing that I have specifically told you *I don't want to see*. See where I'm going with this? You could like, instead, say "Blocked due to your YTBlock preferences." That would be better.

posted 2 days agoYou can customize the overlay to not show the reason the video was blocked by going to the options page, go to "Overlays" on the left sidebar, then check "remove block reason". But the bold "BLOCKED" is not possible to remove for now. You can disable the entire overlay if you want by unchecking the "Show overlays" option. Thank you! - Rated 3 out of 5by ExistingExpert, 8 days agoIt is a great extension and it does what it says but it really slows the browser down as to make it unusable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Steel Delvin, 14 days agoDoes as it says and helps me block ai slop and political ragebait content
- Rated 3 out of 5by Finalreminder, a month agoBlocks channels fine, but one weird thing I noticed is that when I open a new video, it will sometimes show the comment section for the last video.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ploof, 2 months agoWorks well and helps a lot, especially love the ability to set click based disabling. Would be nice, if there was a way to apply the blocking to just the video and not the recommended videos on the side, as it slows down the site, even if I have disabled the sidebar with Untrap.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mugnum, 4 months agoBanger extension. Actually smites all the clankers in youtube comments, which keep commenting same vile stuff under literally every comment on popular channels.

- Rated 2 out of 5by AlextwoDoesStuff, 4 months agoIt used to work, but since it has been left to rot for 4 months, it no longer functions. No UI elements pop up anymore on any page, nor does it actually block any videos. HOWEVER, back when this was working, it was perfect. If the dev sees this, PLEASE. PLEEAASSSEE. Update this extension. It was so useful when it worked.
- Rated 5 out of 5by NomNom, 4 months agoUPDATE from 2025-09-02:
The issue seems to have been fixed in
Version 5.13.2 (September 2, 2025).
Thanks!
=== ORIGINAL ENTRY ===
5 stars, because I think, this can be fixed.
Version 5.13.1 (August 28, 2025):
- On the main page no red X after the channel name and no entries in the menu.
- But this works, when I open the video.
- Blocked videos are listed on the main page without a blocking-overlay, however, on the video's page you get the blocking-overlay.
- It seems that the blocking-overlay sometimes works on the main page as well. - Rated 3 out of 5by Gijop, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by 1on1, 5 months agoThanks for all your hard work on this. I've been happy with this extension until now, but since the latest update, videos from channels I've blocked are showing up again. When I hover over a video and click the red block button, the channel gets added to the block list in the options, but it doesn't actually hide the videos. I've been using it with the overlays hidden, and it seems like the blocking only works properly when the overlays are shown.

posted 5 months agoThank you for the bug report, I will take a look into it and hopefully fix it very soon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Hiroki Etsuko, 5 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Burrito, 5 months agoDoesn't seem to work in private windows any more.
However the reason for 3 stars is that when a video/channel is blocked, you have to have the overlay enabled for it to actually be blocked. If I disable the overlay, then "blocked" videos/channels still appear in my suggestions. I just want them completely removedDeveloper response
posted 5 months agoSorry for incovenience, can you tell me which version is your YTBlock? Does it happen to all videos or only the ones in certain pages? Please let me know. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19001686, 5 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Journey Over, 5 months agoSadly doesn't seem to be working with the channel blocker anymore on the homepage :/ I've tried both using "@channelname" and even the link way doesn't seem to work either.
