- Seems to be working, it hides channels and blocks some videos. When i tested it you can access there channel if you search for them but it will redirect you if you click there videos and it will say the channels blocked. It should be looked at but it seems okay. The handle doesn't seem to work properly. I have to place the old channel ID in and it does work. So The handle is messed up but you can use the old channel ID and it will work. So please update this so handle can be fixed.

- Doesn't work.
- Michal Pokorný
- Would be awesome but can't add any channels, I tried both names and ID, even adding the ID from the tutorial doesn't work, the input bar just shakes like the channel doesn't exists and the channel isn't blocked/whitelisted. Will change my review if it will get fixed, if I find out.

- This was working well but now when I put in a new id/handle to block the field just vibrates for a minute and the new id/handle is not added to the the block list. Thank you.

- OMG these fake reviews are ridiculous. This extension literally doesn't work right now and isn't blocking channels or videos, but these fake reviewers keep on coming with the phony positive reviews.

- Works well with hiding what you don't want to see. However, it also hides other things that you actually want to. Currently, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I did not include it in the things to hide whatsover. Even when I temporarily disable the settings, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I can see blocked channels.

- Oh my gosh. You just don't know. You have saved my life. I'm the mom of a special needs adult, aggressive male who has OCD....really BAD OCD and Autism. When he can't get what he wants, he will play these video clips that are using very foul language and will play them over and over again, just to push my buttons! I couldn't stop it! Its been going on for years and driving this Christian mom of 70, out of her mind. So thank you. This extension is working. There should now be peace in this household. I can live out my years without fighting with him. If his behavior didn't stop, I was gonna have to put him in a group home. I don't WANT to, but the way it was going, he was gonna send ME to the hospital! Then what! Its just him and I. But I digress....

- Hi, great extension that I use for more than a year now, really love it!🥰 However, can you add a feature to schedule when the extension would be on/off? At certain times of a day I would like to access these blocked channels but I don't wanna do it manually every time (I actually prefer not to touch extension settings at all and I try to make it as hard as I can to access the extension, otherwise I would turn it off subconsciously) Thanks in advance and thanks for understanding!

- Extension doesn't work: on first install I could see the block button on a channel's page, but clicking on it did nothing. disabled and re-enabled and now the button doesn't appear (but the cursor changes when you mouse over that location). Checking the console, it's in a tight loop printing out the channel name. Running on chrome latest on a mac m2.

- Really the greatest extension I ever found, but there is a small issue, I cannot see any YouTube video on the channel page, which is in the whitelist. I mean, If I open up the channel home page to watch videos from it, no videos are displayed, even though it's in the whitelist. I really require this video as I access my YouTube channels for educational content and the lectures are not sorted out in YouTube home or search. Thank you so much for making a great extension! And I hope this gets fixed. Cheers!

- I like the app. I don't like the unnecessary password. That's just a waste of time. However, main gripe is, it won't load block lists. It blocked 28 ONLY. Are you serious ? You need 280,000 not a measly 28. App has now become a total waste of my time. Why is this so limited ? This seems beyond ridiculous.

- This extension is absolutely amazing It allows me to block all YouTube channels, but only allow videos from a select few channels This has been amazing for my productivity because now I can only use YouTube for my educational/productivity videos

- It was exactly what i needed to block annoying channels but sadly it won't let me block more than 28 channels - no idea why. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

- app is just what i needed, thanks a lot for bringing it into existence. One problem i've ran into is it won't recognize/add a channel i'm trying to white list: https://www.youtube.com/@joepowerhouse2371/ I've only run into this issue once, but i'd love the app even better if I could white list it.
