Channel Blocker
Allows you to block YouTube™ videos and comments by blacklisting users and/or by using regular expressions.
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.

Latest reviews
No longer maintained (last update on github was over a year ago), and naturally recent Youtube updates have broken it, because they always do.
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!
this is absolute garbage and literally does nothing
it was great before no longer works please update :(
doesnt work
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.
Used to be 5 star, now no longer functional for several weeks with no signs of being fixed
Literally had one job.
sir please update this plugin. this extension is not supported in the latest vivaldi browser.
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%
Seems to have stopped working.
doesnt work
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.
no longer working
Not working, x signs do not appear.
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.
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.
Works like magic, I can use the x button.
doesnt work at all
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.
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.
Broken.
Doesn't work 💔
The saved list collapsed and gone forever. You guys better export the saved list more often.
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.
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)
Not working.
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.
I want to block channel from my searched result. This extension was not deliver that.
useful, but fickle. want to more stable.
broken
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
doesnt work
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.
Simply doesn't work!
It doesn't work. Tried to block 2 channels and neither are blocked. Needs an update\.
A very good addon, youtube is so filled with negative rage bate slop nowadays and it messing with my mental heath, your a hero.
It doesn't work anymore.
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.
doesn't work. I just want to stop seeing these rage bait freaks in my feed but I still have to see them because the extension wont block anyone in the recommended tab and every once in awhile it clears out all of the channels you blocked.
USELESS
Previous issue before it was fixed was that everywhere but the recommendations when I'm watching a video wasn't being properly blocked. Now it's only the recommendations that don't work. Everywhere else however seems to be back to blocking channels. I said it before and I'll say it again, this extension has helped me out extensively and I hate to see it not working, especially when I'm stuck having to see god awful youtubers flood my YT recommendations as if the website thinks they're worth being given the time of day. Whoever is running this extension now, please sort this out. I still can't honestly recommend this extension until they have it back to how it worked before. If it wasn't broke, there was no need to fix it. But now it is. So fix it please.
Could someone please pick this extension back up? It used to be great before manifest v3. Hasn't been updated for nearly a year now. Make it great again!
it stopped working pls fix
Did used to work but doesn't anymore. Please fix if possible.
Very good Please update it, it's stop working and X is gone.
if u'r logged into ur account the X makers wont show up on the recommendation list anymore.
Block list is no longer working, it self removes blocked channels.
Love the extension! I know I'll probebly won't be able to remove all ai slop, bots and rage baiting weirdos but it's a start. Also though, it should also block shorts from the blocked channel, I block any AI stuff I came across, but their videos are usually shorts, which this extension doesn't block for some reasons.
