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 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.

makes youtube usable by letting you block racism, gore, etc. It would be nice if the context menu let you add a comment at the time of blocking (you can add a comment in the list manually after blocking you just have to remember to edit the list)

Hi, I want to suggest reinstating a feature this add-on used to have: it used to be able to block individual commenters as well as channels, for example, if you see a spammer saying the same garbage over and over in all comment sections you look at, you can click on the three-dots icon on the right side of this commenter and hit "block user" and he would be gone forever, you won't see him again, but lately, at least since a few months ago, this feature was gone, when you click on the three-dots thing of the commenter you only see "report", which is the youtube default feature, but no more "block user" or "block channel" (I can't remember the wording this add-on used, but the block-user-through-comment definitely came with this add-on before, since youtube never let you just block users in the comment section). So please consider putting this feature back with your add-on, thank you!

Can you please add an option to disable live stream recommendations. Please! I swear, every year, Youtube gets worse and worse and worse!

it's cool

Blocktube has been working great,
After the last update on Firefox android, the three dots button on the side of videos seems to be broken. Also the import button in the settings seems to be broken.

Playlists from channels I've blocked are still appearing while searching videos. Also, the "Block Channel" option isn't available when clicking the three-dot menu on comments.

Absolutely must have to make annoying channels to stop popping out in your feed/searches.

If you get an error regarding using adblock during use of this extensions uncheck "Disable YouTube's audio loudness normalization" in the settings, that worked for me.

At long last! I can search for videos about games I like without having to see Asmongold's awful little facial expressions in his horrible little thumbnails. Thank you.

You are a lifesaver thanks a lot!!!

Love this addon but after recent update I regularly have everything under a youtube video completely blank, just white with nothing there, I have to refresh the page to see comments and video recommendations, I have tested adding one ext at a time and it starts happening when I add Blocktube back, pls look into this :)

Comment blocks have stopped working since early April.
The three dot menu option that was supposed to be on the right side of the comment is gone. I hope this feature is brought back in an update.

You have to give it to this guy he keep updating this add-on whenever it stop working and he is not abandoning it
