• (2023-02-09) Reddue: If you want something that hides non wanted videos and lets you choose which video categories to not show then the YouTube Focus Mode extension is for you: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-focus-mode/jedeklblgiihonnldgldeagmbkhlblek This extension doesn't block videos the way I would like it to. If you click a video that is entertainment it redirects you to the youtube home page. I would like it to hide the entertainment videos or gray them out. It is still pretty cool so I will will continue to use it.
• (2022-12-15) Felix Lupp: I think you saved my degree. Thank you!!!! Not all Heros wear Capes. The link in the description leads to a wrong site, one needs to search for "google coloud platform" to get to the right one (Also I didn't need to create a new account, somehow I already did that once or it just runs on my google account).
• (2022-11-02) Michael: Are you serious? In order to use this garbage extension, I have to create an account that requires a credit card? Removed and reported.
• (2022-07-23) SauliusLT cool: Hello, can there be an option to include music videos? Or an option to select what content to block? Because although I find this very useful, music is important to me and the extention blocks music too
• (2022-04-06) Kishlay Raj: This is something amazing you have created. I wanted it so badly. I would suggest you to start collecting central information around video id and its category and use that to filter out category. I will be easier for the end users. This is something that I would even be ready to pay for every month but you can do some market research if more people are interested and make that service. So people who configure that google cloud account can use it for free others can just take the paid service.
• (2022-01-31) plato lau: Hey thanks Eric! Super useful in keeping me to read /study. Would it be possible that you can make a phone version for that if you have time? Thanks so much!

• (2021-11-06) Damian Liszcz: Thanks to this extension I stopped watching stupid videos on youtube. Thank you!
• (2021-10-15) lakshmi satya sai sindhu karri: Hi Eric, Need this extension for phones also. Some chrome extensions are supported on kiwi browser. Is there any way I can make this extension work on kiwi browser on android
• (2021-10-03) Premium Courses: Brilliant extension! Just what I was looking for! Thank you so much.
• (2021-09-27) milkha singh: Thank you very much Eric! You're a savior. Helps me stay focused while working.
• (2021-09-02) Justin Jung: It didn't work, although the API key had not reached its limit.
• (2021-08-24) Vikram Duggal: Hi Eric, I really appreciate the great work that you have done with YouTube blocker. There is a issue which I wanted to highlight. If I search for entertainment videos and then on the search result of the videos if I click on add to queue option on the video itself, the video will get minimized in a small window and I can play it. It will play even though it's a non educational video. So basically by clicking the add to queue option the video gets minimized and then if I click on the play button the video will start playing. It would be of immense help if this could be fixed.
• (2021-08-20) Vikram Duggal: Eric, Great Job on this extension. Hats off to you. I inadvertently posted a wrong problem but have rectified it. If you could look into that it will be greatly appreciated.
• (2021-05-31) Darsh J.: Thank You ... really mean it
• (2021-05-06) Abdullah Ezzat: First of all, thank you for your work, I really appreciate it. The extension works well and it's simple and well explained, however: - It should not redirect. It should just block the video, if that's possible. I know it may not be. I'm saying redirection is a bad idea, and there must be a better one. - It should have an option to disable the extension's notifications. Thanks.
• (2021-01-26) Louie Bridgeman-Rivett: This Is Great, One Improvement is if you could choose what types of videos are blocked
• (2020-09-27) Eric: Really helpful extension. Helped me stop binge watching knowing that videos would be blocked.
• (2020-07-09) Chethan: Its not working now. Even after I have created new API key in my google account in Google cloud platform & saved that key into this extension. Still throws error that ur API Key call reached the limit whenever I use entertainment videos & doesn't works as needed, although when I see dashboard for API Key usage, not even one time call is made by this extension. Plz, Fix this issue asap.

• (2023-07-05, v:3.4) Nikola Sočec: YT Music bug
  When using Youtube music, if you fullscreen the music queue, this extension recognizes it as a "music video", terminates the page and loads www.youtube.com. I believe this is undesirable behavior because Youtube music is a completely separate service from youtube.com. You should probably ignore all events related to the music.youtube.com domain.
• (2023-02-23, v:3.4) Peter: It has suddenly stopped working
  This plugin is a great idea. I followed the instructions carefully and set it up and it worked for a few weeks. but it has now stopped working. I tried deactivating and reactivating it, but no change. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

  Youtube Filter is not working when I click the restore icon on the top right corner of chrome. As soon as the restore icon next to the minimize icon on the top right corner is clicked and the window is reduced in size I can watch all entertainment and non educational videos.
