- (2023-11-09) Rapotato: Ive tried a few whitelisting extentions and this one is the only one that works, and it works great. Very simple. Great product. Asian power!
- (2023-09-14) Will Coleda: Extension doesn't work: on first install I could see the block button on a channel's page, but clicking on it did nothing. disabled and re-enabled and now the button doesn't appear (but the cursor changes when you mouse over that location). Checking the console, it's in a tight loop printing out the channel name. Running on chrome latest on a mac m2.
- (2023-08-12) Iván Matusevich: Nice!!!!!!!!!!
- (2023-07-28) Jaswanth Sai (Y0nk0u): Really the greatest extension I ever found, but there is a small issue, I cannot see any YouTube video on the channel page, which is in the whitelist. I mean, If I open up the channel home page to watch videos from it, no videos are displayed, even though it's in the whitelist. I really require this video as I access my YouTube channels for educational content and the lectures are not sorted out in YouTube home or search. Thank you so much for making a great extension! And I hope this gets fixed. Cheers!
- (2023-06-22) KurodoDragon: No longer lets me watch any video
- (2023-06-20) Rodney McMinge: I like the app. I don't like the unnecessary password. That's just a waste of time. However, main gripe is, it won't load block lists. It blocked 28 ONLY. Are you serious ? You need 280,000 not a measly 28. App has now become a total waste of my time. Why is this so limited ? This seems beyond ridiculous.
- (2023-06-15) Marc Caramello: This extension is absolutely amazing It allows me to block all YouTube channels, but only allow videos from a select few channels This has been amazing for my productivity because now I can only use YouTube for my educational/productivity videos
- (2023-05-30) ANURAG KUMAR SINGH: not working
- (2023-05-06) Patrick Rooter: It was exactly what i needed to block annoying channels but sadly it won't let me block more than 28 channels - no idea why. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
- (2023-04-13) Александр Крылов: Удачная штука - легко и просто блокирует
- (2023-04-13) El Anderson シ: Se me olvidó la contraseña, como podría cambiar o resetear la extensión
- (2023-03-17) Aditya Karumampoyil: Really amazing app pleae dont stop adding improvements keep up the great work
- (2023-03-09) Chaim Honikman: Thank you so much for this extension. I love it. I used to be addicted to watching YouTube a lot, but now this extension helps me with my problem. It is so genius and should have more downloads and reviews.
- (2023-02-21) Karan Singh: its very help full thank you
- (2022-12-04) Kaine Dube: this addon is not working for my chrome browser can you please look into this issue the issue is that it will not hide blocked videos from my search results or shorts from my list like what your app is suppose to do.
- (2022-11-29) Jonathon Fowkes: app is just what i needed, thanks a lot for bringing it into existence. One problem i've ran into is it won't recognize/add a channel i'm trying to white list: https://www.youtube.com/@joepowerhouse2371/ I've only run into this issue once, but i'd love the app even better if I could white list it.
- (2022-11-26) 최선미: after upgrade, it dosen`t work too!
- (2022-11-24) Grace Lee: after upgrade, it dosen`t work! please fix it!
- (2022-09-24) Tibor Korpos: This extension has great potential with some improvements. It is it has a simple functionality but that's exactly what I need, for example other, more popular extensions seem to lack whitelisting which this one has. Few notes: - It doesn't work on the youtube mobile site. Thus you can easily bypass the extension just by navigating to http://m.youtube.com/?persist_app=1&app=m even if you're on desktop. And of course it doesn't work at all in a mobile browser which otherwise can run the extension. Suggestion: make the extension compatible with the mobile site as well. - It was a bit confusing to me what the "channel name" meant that you can enter manually to black/whitelist a channel. It is the actual text name of the channel not the ID in the URL. I would suggest clarifying that in your help text with an example. - It would be nice to be able to add channel ids manually, not just with the button on the channel page. This is because the button doesn't work in the Kiwi browser (in itself that's not a big deal, that's a niche case).
- (2022-07-16) Vinay Awachar: This is the finest distracting youtube channel blocker extension I've tried yet ,and I will never leave it . I have whitelisted only 2 educational channels on youtube , and hence all others channels are blocked . Its so benefiting !!! I loved it :)
- (2022-03-14) Henry Ozolins: Works great! Thank you for this, and thanks for keeping it updated, you're real cool!
- (2021-11-21) David Schwartz: Good interface and does the job
