- Keyword blocker only blocks videos in search results, does not work on home page or sidebar.

- I've been using Smart YouTube Blocker (Beta) for five years, and it’s the best tool I've found for enhancing my YouTube experience. This app effectively blocks unwanted recommendations and repetitive content from the same creators, allowing me to focus on what I truly enjoy. The interface is simple but powerful, giving me control over which channels and videos to hide. Plus, the customer support is outstanding—always responsive and helpful, which is a huge plus. I’ve had no issues with performance; it works flawlessly as a Chrome extension. While some may have had negative experiences, my time with this app has been nothing short of excellent. I highly recommend Smart YouTube Blocker to anyone looking to improve their YouTube viewing experience! Feel free to tweak it further if needed!

- Not working, block videos by keywords or channel

- Great extension, really helpful

- It works amazingly for blocking youtube channels! But the blocking "keywords" doesn't seem to work. :( It would've been 5 stars with that Edit: Initially gave it 3 stars, now it's 4! The keywords are "case sensitive", so as of now, you have to write the word in both upper and lower case. Once this issue is resolved, will definitely change to 5 stars :)

- YouTube is a brilliant website. You can find a lot of useful stuff on it, but unfortunately is also very addictive and full of useless stuff that grab your attention. This is currently the best way that I know to block specific contents and channels only, without blocking the whole website at once using other apps. The schedule feature is very powerful and you can create as many block as you want for different occasions. Also, blocking channels with a right click is very convenient. I think is already good to use in terms of number of features. I hope that soon this will came up on mobile devices as well. It would be amazing!

- This extension had removed my youtube home screen and replaced it with a weird playlist, which prevent you from getting to the home of youtube.. I advice not to install it which is intended to rise some channel and playslist, not to decently help users to get rid of unwanted fake content channels.
