- (2025-07-09) Luc Lists: Brilliant!
- (2025-07-06) mental disease: Works perfectly. But since some days there are no buttons to 'block content / video' anymore, in the 3-dot-menu of suggested videos. Anything broken?
- (2025-06-24) Nikhil Sinha: best categroies wise blocking extension for me and it do much more you can try it out edoan is also active in email much you can make feature request there also he always replies
- (2025-06-22) Liam: Please make general filter also apply to channels!
- (2025-06-15) Dugl: awesome extension but recently I can't block the channel that left the comment anymore, the button doesn't do anything, but I can still block individual comments.
- (2025-06-13) Hope Banks: May 3, 2025. This extension needs a lot of work. Technically it is hit or miss. The "x" next to videos for blocking them, does not do a thing. This extension is hit or miss, it either blocks what I do not want blocked or it blocks nothing. It is too inconsistent. JUNE 13, 2025. WORKS ONE DAY, FAILS TO WORK THE NEXT. June 6, 2025. App has gone glitchy. WHO EVER SERVICES THIS EXTENSION IS FIRED. YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB. THIS EXTENSION NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION. SERVICE THE EXTENSION OR HAND IT OVER TO SOMEONE WHO WILL.
- (2025-06-03) Oleh Butenko: That's a hell gun!
- (2025-05-25) Eddie: Only one serious issue, having more than one preset seems useless since changing presets wipes all settings and block lists, except video links and any cached through API use. Also wish you could have a block by age without API, even if it's limited, since there is a simpler age info right under the title on the homepage.
- (2025-05-18) John Keyberg: Working great. Better than alternatives as of May 2025.
- (2025-05-09) Анна Костишак: When i checked the "Language block" option and put "Russian" so it would block content in russian, it worked, but it also sometimes blocks videos in Ukrainian. Please fix this
- (2025-04-06) JomSpoons: Works great on my PC, but I would love for it to work on Kiwi Browser as well so I can block videos on my phone. If you could implement support I would greatly appreciate it.
- (2025-04-01) Clive KLG: Half the time doesn't work, from the controls to block not showing up, to not blocking the blocked comments. Laggy response when it does do anything.
- (2025-03-27) Andario Andrada: Great functionality, HORRIBLE performance The most complete YT blocker there is, with plenty of customizable options, including the ability to block both channels and users, and filter videos by age (Features usually missing in other blockers). The performance, though, it´s simply horrible. I´ve been using extensions since forever, and I don´t recall any extension impacting my YT browsing so negatively. The issue is particularly bad when iyou do infinite scrolling (such as the Home page), not only forcing my CPU to 100%, but stopping the scrolling completely until it recovers. I was so miffed I actually took the time to ask 3 differents AIs if this was normal or it was me, and they told me than (other than poor optimization) my issues are related to the massive amount of data the addon is injecting constantly (Plus every other extension I have installed, of course). I was actually planning to upgrade to a pretty powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 165H, and the AI told me I could still get spikes above 90%. Anyway, I stopped using it since I found much lighter alternatives to achieve 90% of its features, separately. If you want a one-stop shop and have a pretty powerful computer, or you just dont´have many other extensions, give it a go.
- (2025-03-22) Fenix TV: Was working pretty well for several months but recently it has ignored some videos at random, at times blocking them seconds after, or not. Now at the time I am writing this review it completely stopped working. It still blocks the video I am watching based on its title but completely ignores the sidebar reccomendations, there are like several videos there that contain the set keywords. Usually turning YTBlock on and off works as a fix but now just nothing
- (2025-03-22) Greg Cromwell: Powerful, best (maybe only) category blocker. I sometime use Filmot.com (which is only transcript search for youtube) as my front end to youtube. I am wondering if the YTblock extension could be modified to support that site?
- (2025-03-10) harashkupo: Edit - back to normal
- (2025-03-09) a b: Sometimes, category-based video blocking takes effect only after reloading the video watch page, and the blocking overlay from a previously blocked video appears on the current video watch page.
- (2025-03-06) Pisces: love it
- (2025-02-16) D: Does exactly what it says. Very customizable -No more cheap content -block annoying clickbait youtubers -no more brainrot -no more cringe cheap shorts free your feed to healthy feed No YouTube algorithm can control you, F**k YT algorithm i can control what i want to watch
- (2025-02-12) Тоха Петров: Does exactly what it says. Very customizible. Perfect Please add settings/blacklists sync, its so annoying to adjust blacklist every time im using other PC
- (2025-02-01) Kevin Ndolo: So far so good, it's blocking videos by keywords as i wanted.
- (2025-01-25) media west: perfect to keep a certain you know who out of my feeds. this ext works better than the other yt blockers. like the ability to have right click new options!... thanks.
- (2025-01-21) Dominik: I like to watch some content about games I'm currently playing but I don't want anything spoiling the ending, final boss fight or characters' deaths included and also not recommended by YT, so I just blocked videos including these words and it worked. Even when I'm searching for "ending" for example I will barely find anything like that. Just the very weirdly worded ones get through but that is super rare, hasn't happened to me through the recommended videos yet and you'd need AI to filter those out which would go way beyond the basic functionality of an extension like this. Great work, thank you!
- (2025-01-19) Cali: I was able to block comments from specific users.
- (2025-01-14) Kate Awesome: Me, I really sick of Slenderman videos. So I can finally block them. I also finally going to block Flamingo! Also the "Block/unblock channel" doesn't work anymore. Please fix it.
- (2025-01-01) Natasha MJ Spira Publications: In the beginning it worked perfectly. Then started showing the videos from channels that have been blocked. You can block any content in channels, but that still shows up. I am sorry to say, this extension is of no help now because I have to constantly removed the things that has been blocked!!!
- (2024-12-25) Chris Scott: Blocked channels still appearing in the searches and recommended videos. it Does "block" so you can't watch but they still pollute the search results.
- (2024-12-19) Drew: The creator of this extension is a true hero.
- (2024-12-18) 悪趣味な風: 最近機能しなくなった某アドオンと違ってどの場面でもきれいに消せているのが良いですね。 追記>プレイリストが消えない不具合も直していただきありがとうございました、一瞬表示されるように見えるのまでは許容範囲です。
- (2024-12-17) Jackson Gilmore: Can this extension undo the decision of you blocking videos?
- (2024-12-13) Алексић Владица.: Oft - ne workes. Is it for the "API" (which) Ic ne knowe, udenrstande.
- (2024-12-09) 이준범: NOT WORKING AT ALL, FIX. THIS. THING. !!!
- (2024-11-25) Martina A: Can't block playlists. I copy the direct URL to the block section and the playlist still shows up.
- (2024-11-23) Tyrone John Guantero: YouTube Mixes still show up even if I enable the block feature.
- (2024-11-22) Vyvyn CruxButt: Not currently working with new youtube reccomended page.
- (2024-11-19) Ché Balducci: This thing WORKS. Thank you guys so much for making this. Just filled out tons of keywords and it blocks everything and just leaves me an empty square where the garbage was.
- (2024-11-13) Some Loser who Comments a Lot: Though this extension works like a charm, I simply must give feedback because blocking Mix Playlists hasn't worked lately.
- (2024-11-07) Nigel: Works well. One slight niggle is that the extension icon pinned to the toolbar for quick access to settings etc has the name 'Popup' with mouseover. Would be preferable to name it 'YTBlock' or something more accurate, as is the usual convention?
- (2024-11-07) Teddy: Completely unusable because of how slow it makes browsing youtube. It also seems like the more you block the slower it gets.
- (2024-11-06) Peej Urtica (Peej): It doesn't block channels anymore, just videos.
- (2024-10-20) Christian McKinney: I can finally avoid spoilers for Sonic x Shadow Generations releasing on all modern platforms featuring digital deluxe content on October 25 on YouTube!
- (2024-10-08) 456 216: this is amazing i dont have to deal with trash clickbait channels
- (2024-10-07) Younes Outerbah: goodbye all the trash content
- (2024-10-02) Ethelon: Goodbye KSI, goodbye Paul brothers, goodbye MrBeast. The good ending.
- (2024-09-30) Elitist Sleet0: I wish I discovered this extension earlier. 10/10
- (2024-09-30) Anonymous A.: Good, but it's too easy to block someone's content by pressing the "X" button when selecting a video from the sidebar. Without even knowing it. How about a confirmation when you press the "X" to block button?
- (2024-09-29) Aksel Circill: it'd be nice to have a sync feature :)
- (2024-09-13) -Krism-: It creates blank boxes instead of straight up not showing blocked videos
- (2024-09-13) Manolo Arboleda: i can´t express how much this has helped me, i mean, it is THE extension i´ve been looking for, i even started to think that it didn´t exist, i mean, its perfect, now i am a 100% more productive, thank you
- (2024-09-10) Mo McRae: I got it to block shorts. Unfortunately it doesn't
