Web Extension to block unwanted videos and channels
Image from store
Description from store
This Chrome extension can block YouTube videos or channels from view based on keywords you can specify.
It features a very basic password protection and the block message is user-customizable.
Originally this was developed for a person who is easily scared and needed to be protected from certain YouTube searches. Because there was no easy way to do this I developed this extension.
The sourcecode is available on github at https://github.com/Meidor/keywordblocker

- Wow it took me a while to figure it out, you should make a tutorial honestly, I was about to rate it 2 stars because I misconfigured it. Great extensions, its extremely helpful for me. Thank you for making it, and it has so many features.. I will consider donating to you. Really thanks a lot, it works great. https://prnt.sc/20x2041 EDIT: but report; this block is not blocked. you can click on view more and none of these are. it bypasses it. please fix if possible

- Ella Threlfall
- i don't think this works at the moment. i tried it set to "block" and also to "remove" videos matching the keywords. but in both cases, videos with titles containing my keywords showed up on my recommended page.

- Spyware. Asked for permission to read my browser history.

- Simply nothing worked. Got this to avoid Eurovision spoilers. Blocked the work Eurovision. See it plastered all over YouTube nonetheless. I thought it was a pretty simple ask??
- Sujeet
- Working good now, problem may occur when youtube updates their security, so you shall also keep working so that your users don't blame you for it. keep an eye on it
- YAGAO ERNEST FERSON
- SO FAR IT WORKS FINE!! Keep up the good work man
- The Infidel
- 1. Disclose your privacy practices please 2. Does this even work? Just as an example . my feed was swamped by Jimm Carr and Ricky Gervais videos, which i have watched a lot and got fed up by. So i addded the keywords : Carr, Carr´s, Jimmy Carr, Gervais and used either wildcard option or not, also i set the option to remove , block on all items available in the option menu... resulting in zero effect on what i was shown by youtube.. So what is this for ...!??!!?

- I find it doesn't work. Tested it using a few common words such as "I" and "the" to make sure it really works. Videos with those in their names are still showing up. I tried refreshing the tab, creating a new tab, tried with all the settings set to block, tried with all the settings set to remove, nothing worked, I was still getting stuff to show up in the homepage. I plan on leaving it on in hopes that it will magically work some day, but it seems unlikely. If you want something to block your unwanted videos its still worth a try, since I seem to be in the minority with this not working. Hey, maybe it will work for you. (Also if you only want to to block channels, youtube has a built in feature for that.)

- Incredible Work! My first time to leave a review as I honestly think it's underrated! I have been looking for a software or extension functions like this for a while, found it, finally! It helps me staying focus on important tasks and filtering unwanted content! Thanks a lot! Well Done!
- Dushyant Udawat
- You are an absolute god. Only add and youtube video where u r explaining how to use the extension . It was difficult at start. Thanks again.
- Firas Moussi
- so it works good but when you add a keyword it stacks from top so you have to scroll down to add new ones otherwise thank!
- Gary Lane
- I added this extension and then added two specific keywords to block. Did a search using both keywords. Found the video I usual do that has the exact same keywords. And it played with no problem at all. Another blocker that does not work at all.
- TeePM
- Works perfectly. Make sure you change your block options!!
- ROMAN MAZAEV
- Не работает. Не блокирует ни канал, ни видео.
- James Kewageshig
- Using this to block Mandalorian/spoiler videos before I watch the episode, works great! thanks!
- screwhead
- So good! (after reading other reviews left me a bit confused) At the moment it's working fine, I looked up the keywords I had blocked with the opacity low so I could still the videos, and it blocked everything that I did not want. Youtube has been spamming me with irrelevant videos, thank you for this very useful extension mate!
- Lance Courier
- Works perfectly for me. https://i.imgur.com/DGS3tnC.png

- As far as I know, this was working back then when I first installed it. It was still working now, but I couldn't see the options. It's literally blank. I hope that this may be fixed. Thank you.
- steph
- not working :/ added several political keywords and my YouTube home page is still showing all of it.
- Serafim Chayka
- Works better than I expected! I am not sure how channel blocking should have worked. I still can access main and videos pages of the blocked channels... But by combining this extension with the Cold Turkey Pro to block their urls solves the problem. Thank You! Update: Channel blocking does seem to work. Even though you can still access the videos but they will be stopped after a second or two.
- polleitor5
- Thank you for removing anime from youtube
- Lance Moldes
- Not working im using this to suppose child lock my computer
- Caspian

- Reza Mahandara
- This app is working perfectly.. finally i can remove minecraft video from my youtube
- Tori Forte
- Did nothing
- M G
- You need to add keywords, twice, because of big letters. "test" is blocked. but Test with a big T isn' blocked.
- Ethan Tank
- Отлично работает! Все блокирует: по ключевым словам и отдельные каналы, короче все. С новым дизайном работает, в отличии от других расширений.
- LeonidasSthlm
- Doesn't work. It does not block the words specified.
- Nadejdik Zetta
- Very good extention! Please add optional block for videos with >1000 dislikes
- oh baby
- If you're using a disable polymer script or extension, this doesn't work. It's definitely nice in terms of features but I'd rather just not use it than have to use the new redesign.
- Dakota S.
- This is GREAT I really need something like this for mobile!! do you know of anything?
- Pelajar Abadi
- Didn't work. It used to work a few years back. Now it seems to do nothing.

- This extension sadly fails to compete with BlockTube (blocking channels based on their ID rather than name) and also fails to do what Video Blocker sometimes does (50/50 chance it works). Tried to block "*viewers also watch...", "Recently uploaded", and the Twitter knockoff garbage YouTube is pushing heavily and it doesn't work even if I select Wildcard in both the Keyword and Channels tab.
- Anonymous
- Utterly useless. Couldn't find anything that it would actually block.
- KallMeQul
- It's been a bit on and off lately. Worked perfectly for the first couple of weeks, then something happened and it stopped blocking videos. Reinstalled it, and it seems to be blocking most things again, but some of those pesky spoilers are still getting through. Wildcard option doesn't seem to work at all. Really hoping this gets fixed...
- Kareem Ahmed
- It works perfectly fine, thank you sir, you're the real mvp
- George K
- 5 stars for blocking videos with certain keywords in the description!! Keep up the good work
- Nick Stanfield
- When is an update going to be released? The extension cuts off the right edge of the video

- Nothing worked. I got this to stop myself gettig jealous of the Apple Pencil and smartphones due to not being allowed. I can't block every single video containing Apple Pencil.
- Tyler Behl
