About this extension
Our Add-on enables the function of blocking anything you'd like. Block separate videos, users or whole channels with only one click! Naturally, the add-on supports regular expressions to ensure you the best customisation possible. And another thing: no user information is collected.

- Hello! I'm a huge fan and a daily active user of your app. Thank you for creating such a fantastic platform. I'm writing to provide some feedback that I believe would make an already great app even more perfect. I've noticed a small inconvenience: the option to block a channel (the 'X' button) doesn't appear on the main feed. It only becomes visible once you click into a video. I believe that allowing users to manage channels directly from the main feed would be a significant quality-of-life improvement for me and many others. I know you're busy, but I sincerely hope you will consider this for a future update. 1. Please display the 'Block Channel (X)' button for each video on the main feed. 2. This will enhance user convenience by allowing immediate management of unwanted channels. 3. I kindly request this feature be included in an upcoming update to improve the experience for your growing user base. Thank you for your continuous hard work and dedication to the app. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next update!

- It's not allowing me to actually block any accounts.
- General Alpaca
- It's boring. It doesn't do anything
- No Name
- Doesn't even show the channel block button anymore. Only after I click on a video can I block a channel
- Dev
- Its working guys
- Andre Michael Pietroschek
- Originally a very helpful masterpiece, then wrecked by splitting the blocking into barely functional pseudo-efficiency. From 6 stars out of 5 down to at best 2 stars. I need no reminder like that, but the idiom `Never change a winning team!´ sure still runs valid these days. 🤕

- Nothing Channel block in YouTube
- William Ferrell
- No longer maintained (last update on github was over a year ago), and naturally recent Youtube updates have broken it, because they always do.
- Daniel Lewis
- Thanks, now I don't have 1000 indian and other foreign languages in my news feed, even though I am an english speaking american. Youtube is so broken its unbelievable. Thank you so much for this feature!

- Sinan
- it was great before no longer works please update :(
- Drew McClellan
- doesnt work
- Claudio
- Even though I had to give it 1 star, it's really ZERO stars. Stopped working on every single browser for the longest time now.
- Silversleek
- Used to be 5 star, now no longer functional for several weeks with no signs of being fixed
- Teirdalin
- Literally had one job.
- opencv account
- sir please update this plugin. this extension is not supported in the latest vivaldi browser.
- Pieter Venter
- App stopped working. No X. Lost my Blocklist. Try to reinstall-without any success. It was an 5 star app - now not worth any star. I suspect "G" is behind this. TRY 🚫 Youtube Channel Blocker - IT WORKS 100%
- Ireallyreally Hategoogle
- Seems to have stopped working.
- Zach Gault
- doesnt work
- Dano Jan
- I love this extension but lately there is no cross sign next to the list of videos, which would allow one to block offensive channels from the video list. I hope they do something about it.
- Chocolate Cosmos (KOKOLATCEE)
- no longer working
- J S
- Not working, x signs do not appear.
- Clifton Painter
- Was working great. Then stopped appearing on YouTube along side channel names. Tried everything and it just wouldn't come back. Reinstalled and lost the list of blocked channels. Useless and frustrating.
- Diggle Sage
- No longer working on brave, development appears to be abandoned. Might still work on google's nasty virus and adversiting portal, but not on a user-centric web browser.
- Ilene Keung
- Works like magic, I can use the x button.
- Klit Kardashian
- doesnt work at all
- Bjorn N
- It seems a chrome update broke this a few weeks ago and the author don't care. Time to uninstall it and look for one that works.
- Emily the loli Nightray
- It works great when it actually works. It's hit or miss if the channels are hidden or the x button appears. Sometimes one channel has multiple x buttons on it. Manually typing it in only works sometimes.
- Stefan Novak
- Broken.
- Li Lia
- Doesn't work 💔
- Gary Ying
- The saved list collapsed and gone forever. You guys better export the saved list more often.
- MingusDave
- Don't bother downloading. Has completely stopped working as of July 25th, I gave it a week and still no fix and it hasn't been updated in over a year so I don't expect it to ever be fixed. Look for another.
- John M. Porgal
- Still not working at all!

- Only thing holding this extension from 5 stars is there is occasional bugs where clicking the block button doesn't work, and this also doesnt prevent youtube's auto-play from playing blacklisted videos so its best to either have youtube on another screen or disable autoplay. But not getting it onto why its so high rated... this extension just overall adding the ability to block channels is amazingly useful, i tend to use youtube to listen to music videos which currently is plagued with "mixes" basically entirely AI generated channels aimed at basically stealing engagement from the original authors, but most recently my love for modded minecraft has relighted and a certain... 18+ mod has also appeared for some reason, thanks to this extension i can block their channel completely. Basically to the author i ask for this before i change it to 5 stars: - Have youtube auto-play skip any video blocked by the user or is posted by a blocked channel. - Add another alternative to block a video aside from going to the settings and manually typing in the name (which sometimes doesnt work if the channel has emoji's and whatnot)
- Kreciq Klu
- Not working.
- EastSide Eddie
- Worked for a long time but has now stopped. I don't get the X next a channel name to click, and manually entering the channel name did not work either.
- forget aja
- I want to block channel from my searched result. This extension was not deliver that.
- b.ave oms
- useful, but fickle. want to more stable.
- SUG _
- broken
- Chase Conner
- I hate when people abandon their VERY USEFUL extensions, I'm not sure if this will ever be fixed but there HAS to be something like it. Youtube is unbearable when they keep shoving youtubers I don't wanna see in my face despite clicking the "do not recommend" button
- JADE
- doesnt work
- Simon
- Sometimes it doesn't work, probably because of YouTube g e s t a p o, changing some scripts every day like true S S warriors.
- Daniel Lemon
- Simply doesn't work!
- James Leahy
- It doesn't work. Tried to block 2 channels and neither are blocked. Needs an update\.
- Athenamusprime
- A very good addon, youtube is so filled with negative rage bate slop nowadays and it messing with my mental heath, your a hero.
- Google Sync
- It doesn't work anymore.
- Justin Otto
- This was working marvelously well, but seems to have recently stopped working. Ahh please someone help, as a public service. I don't know how people browsed YouTube without this. The site is an utter hellscape of brainrot and clickbait. This combined with Sponsorblock was the only way to YouTube.
