YouTube™ content blocker

Description from store
BlockTube gives you the control over what content you see on YouTube.
Now you can easily get rid of those annoying videos or channels that keeps popping up by YouTube's algorithm.
The extension is lightweight and fast, does not affect your browsing experience at all, and blocks content 100% site-wide.
Your playlists and autoplay features will remain to work even if they contain blocked videos.
To an unsuspecting user, it will appear as the blocked videos were never there to begin with.
It's possible to block channels and videos by keywords/Regex in their name or entire channels by ID.
It also features some extras:
- Block comments from specific user or by content keywords
- Hide and block access to the Trending page
- Allow only videos in certain length range
- Protect options with a password
This is a most have if you have young children, who are extremely susceptible to clickbait videos.
NOTE:
This extension DOES NOT work with the old layout.
Please switch to the new one here: https://www.youtube.com/new

- So you decided to update this extension now lol. You abandoned it for 1 year then decided to update. If you want good reviews please don't do that. Well after this update its been okay i guess blocking most channels but sometimes the block icon won't show but most of the channels and Videos it will so its working at least. So after this update don't abandoned it then decide to update in 2026 or even longer than that.
- Huynh Phi
- It worked. Thanks.
- Neeraj Bhatt
- Even this one can NOT block ALL live streams off of my home page feed. Do these ext devs think about practicality? Would a viewer sit clicking each and every video off, no matter how powerful your extension was? Disappointed, dismayed. Uninstalling this and continuing with my search for that ONE extension which will block, no, REMOVE live streams off of my home page feeds.
- rodrigo apaza
- It worked, but after blocking multiple times the same an related channels and videos
- David Hernandez
- Simply perfect!
- Philippe Ebersohl
- Excellent, THE missing youtube feature !
- U Ojha
- Works
- T D
- Seems to mostly work again, although I use unhook now to remove the sidebar entirely as blocktube is a losing battle against "New to You" slop, it's great to be able to use the search again and not have the same channels showing up over and over.
- Super Pieton
- Does not even show the blocking option and makes other videos unwatchable (they simply not show up).
- Jeffery “Jeffery” Fan
- Thank you devs for fixing the extension :) work again now <3
- Colby Kubicz
- Fixed recent UI and blocking issues I was having, youtube is unusable without it so I am very grateful!
- Oreste
- They fixed the ongoing issues as of 9/15, great work devs.
- Brittany Hollingsworth
- it works sometimes?
- LightBurn
- trash. doesn't block in the recommendations. how about you implement 1 button that you can click on the recommendations list and on their video/channel that makes their channel disappear forever. how hard is that.
- Gerry Fjæren
- Blocking function doesnt work. I need to have a tool that blocks AI channels from my search results. Everytime I use this, and use the "Block Channel" function. The channel still shows up with videos further down the list. Even if I reset the search, the blocked channels still comes up. So, 0 stars from me.

- trash
- Paul S
- I was using this so I didn't see videos completely unrelated to the video I am currently watching, but now it blatantly just doesn't work, as in, the videos still show despite the fact that I had settings that SHOULD be having them not be shown.
- ReachTea
- this isn't working anymore
- Christopher Silva Morales
- It’s broken at the moment: you can still block videos and channels (from the extension options), and although you won’t be able to play them, they still show up on the site. The context menu to block them is also missing.

- Worthless.
- Silentbob515
- If it doesn't block then it doesn't work and shouldn't be allowed on the web store, either get it fixed or remove it
- A user
- This was a great extension until it just stopped working. Please fix this.
- Derek Hatake
- Stop being Lazy and update the extension. It doesn't work anymore.
- Susan Stevens
- Stopped working a few days ago. When it's back up, I'll give it the five stars it deserves.
- Clark Sebastian
- this extension is work, but somehow it will make the thumbnail on each categories either explore, subscription, home and other goes blank or no thumbnail in certain area. hopefully with the next update, they will make the thumbnail tidier, not only hide or block it.
- kkirby999
- the addon no longer works properly. i'll change my review once this gets fixed.
- Giggles
- Please fix, it's the only thing that protects me from ai summary, vtuber slop and show clips, I don't even interact with them but youtube insists I need to see them. Save me.
- ATL-pye
- Doesn't work half the time
- Per Larsen

- AnnaChicky

- Jurassic Ark
- Please just fix this addon so my youtube experience isn't a stressful nightmare for me!
- Richard Martens
- Brave browser update 1.80.125 broke the addon. I can only block channels in my subscription tab, the one place it's not needed.
- Takeda Antonio
- not working again, blocked channels appears and block buttons dissapeared on both chrome 138.0.7204.184 and firefox 141.0
- Kreciq Klu
- Not working anymore...
- James Veddhartha
- Works as written. Thank you so much.
- ume chan
- Blocking feature still works for channels but not on keywords. Blocked words started appearing in my home feed recently. Please fix 🙏🏻
- John Doe
- does not work properly anymore!
- Seth Greschuk
- I think it may be fixed soon, which is amazing! I used this daily until youtube died when I had it enabled.
- Jordan
- This has not been updated since December 9, 2024, so it won't work as I tried dozens of times. The blocked people come back idk how. who ever made this extension should update or most likely just ditch it. I found another YouTube block tool called YT Block. So, I'm going to use that instead. This extension has worked for a long time but if it's not going to work, I'm changing everything. Luckily the Blocked channels that was on this extension i can copy and paste it in the other extension and the other extension works nice and I don't need to start from scratch on blocking the channels again. I'll be surprised if the person who made this extension actually updates but i doubt it. Its been 7 months orso and no one's updated this extension so i'm now giving this a 1/5 but it should be 0/5 if I could I would.

- Used to work great, hasn't worked in a long time. Bummer. Still: 5 stars for providing such an excellent service for two or so years for free! We should be more grateful for this kind of stuff.
- anchilles Vilmos
- Its good for me
- Lievre
- Was amazing when it worked, buts its been broken for a few weeks now as of 2025/07/13. Needs to be updated but I think this is an abandoned project
- Daksh Patel
- Now I will not see inappropriate thumbnails : D YAY
- Forever Thatter
- When it worked, it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately now it triggers the Adblock warning and you're unable to watch anything unless you disable it completely. Don't know when it was last updated, but I haven't been able to use it for over a year now.
