About this extension
Our Add-on enables the function of blocking anything you'd like. Block separate videos, users or whole channels with only one click! Naturally, the add-on supports regular expressions to ensure you the best customisation possible. And another thing: no user information is collected.

- (2025-07-26) b.ave oms: useful, but fickle. want to more stable.
- (2025-07-24) SUG _: broken
- (2025-07-23) Chase Conner: I hate when people abandon their VERY USEFUL extensions, I'm not sure if this will ever be fixed but there HAS to be something like it. Youtube is unbearable when they keep shoving youtubers I don't wanna see in my face despite clicking the "do not recommend" button
- (2025-07-19) JADE: doesnt work
- (2025-07-18) Simon: Sometimes it doesn't work, probably because of YouTube g e s t a p o, changing some scripts every day like true S S warriors.
- (2025-07-17) Daniel Lemon: Simply doesn't work!
- (2025-07-17) James Leahy: It doesn't work. Tried to block 2 channels and neither are blocked. Needs an update\.
- (2025-07-16) Athenamusprime: A very good addon, youtube is so filled with negative rage bate slop nowadays and it messing with my mental heath, your a hero.
- (2025-07-12) Google Sync: It doesn't work anymore.
- (2025-07-11) Justin Otto: This was working marvelously well, but seems to have recently stopped working. Ahh please someone help, as a public service. I don't know how people browsed YouTube without this. The site is an utter hellscape of brainrot and clickbait. This combined with Sponsorblock was the only way to YouTube.
- (2025-07-11) Shawn Allen: doesn't work. I just want to stop seeing these rage bait freaks in my feed but I still have to see them because the extension wont block anyone in the recommended tab and every once in awhile it clears out all of the channels you blocked.
- (2025-07-11) Tirpitz TIE (Tir): USELESS
- (2025-07-10) Larabieprime: Previous issue before it was fixed was that everywhere but the recommendations when I'm watching a video wasn't being properly blocked. Now it's only the recommendations that don't work. Everywhere else however seems to be back to blocking channels. I said it before and I'll say it again, this extension has helped me out extensively and I hate to see it not working, especially when I'm stuck having to see god awful youtubers flood my YT recommendations as if the website thinks they're worth being given the time of day. Whoever is running this extension now, please sort this out. I still can't honestly recommend this extension until they have it back to how it worked before. If it wasn't broke, there was no need to fix it. But now it is. So fix it please.
- (2025-07-09) Eli Johnson: Could someone please pick this extension back up? It used to be great before manifest v3. Hasn't been updated for nearly a year now. Make it great again!
- (2025-07-04) omar sameh: it stopped working pls fix
- (2025-07-03) Benjamin: Did used to work but doesn't anymore. Please fix if possible.
- (2025-07-03) nawaf assol: Very good Please update it, it's stop working and X is gone.
- (2025-06-23) plautus egal: if u'r logged into ur account the X makers wont show up on the recommendation list anymore.
- (2025-06-21) Rise and Shine: Block list is no longer working, it self removes blocked channels.
- (2025-06-15) Flora Flower: Love the extension! I know I'll probebly won't be able to remove all ai slop, bots and rage baiting weirdos but it's a start. Also though, it should also block shorts from the blocked channel, I block any AI stuff I came across, but their videos are usually shorts, which this extension doesn't block for some reasons.
- (2025-06-14) Csabi Nagy: Cant blocked channel,but is not the creator fault,this is youtube problem with duing noting.
- (2025-06-06) Rumbleof Drums: Doesn't work at all. neither does Youtube's own 'Report/Hide User' either. Sick of the hundreds of fake parasitic Indian News channels swamping everything.
- (2025-05-16) John Makarthney: stopped working, no more x buttons visible
- (2025-05-15) MarleneSB: 5* When it works but the X button has vanished for me, I'm using the Brave version of Chrome for reference.
- (2025-05-15) A R: Doesn't work anymore and hasn't for months.
- (2025-05-14) kow_alski: straight up just disappears every other time i open the browser so whatever i had blocked shows up anyway.
- (2025-05-13) Janne Hänninen: Most simple thing and works like magic. Thanks buddy, whoever you are. Deleting those AI channels and users who create multiple slightly different channels but uploading same videos to milk advertisement money, is now ease to wipe away.
- (2025-05-12) KRISHNA AGRAWAL: best app for peak productivity no distractions !!
- (2025-05-02) Candy'Up Desco: Used to work but as of today, the more channels you add, the more it cancels out old channels you blocked, kind of like as if the numbers of channels you can block was limited to 3 :/
- (2025-04-25) Yuri Tarelko: Not working for some reason. Started recently. If you press X it removes the channel but it appears again later. 25.04.2025 update. The extension is basically useless at the moment. X button occasionally disappears, but even when it's there - it does nothing. Blocking channels reappear again like nothing happened, even though the blocking list is full.
- (2025-04-24) Omkar Chavan (ओमकार चव्हाण): Doesn't work reliably anymore.
- (2025-04-11) Shaun Daniel: Used to work really well, but now is very inconsistent. I keep seeing blocked channels pop up in my feed on the home page or in the recommended videos sidebar.
- (2025-03-31) Аб Вг: Пропала кнопка на странице канала и видео
- (2025-03-18) AOMGTera: Used this for a year+ and it's been doing it's job. It's just missing the option to block shorts (by YouTube channel). I have another extension that entirely blocks shorts from appearing but blocking certain YouTube channels would be great.
- (2025-03-17) Hope Banks: Started out great. March 5, 2025. I do not believe this extension blocks anything because I see the same channel in the list over 12 times and it still is not blocked. march 17, 2025 WHERE IS THE X? THE MOMENT I OPEN YOUTUBE? WHY DO I HAVE TO REFRESH THE PAGE TO THE X THAT MARKS THE KILL THIS CHANNEL SPOT? THE X NEEDS TO APPEAR WHEN YOUTUBE IS OPENED WITHOUT REFRESHING.
- (2025-03-09) Daniel Sage Darrow: Not working on Orion browser (iPadOS) Enhanced my life! Improved my life quality
- (2025-03-08) Brandon Mulryan: Works as intended. Was annoyed at a YouTuber's views on a game and this extension worked perfectly to remove them from my recommended and search feeds effectively. Even by searching the account I no longer see them or their video(s). And you can fix any accidental channel blockings by going into your extensions tab to remove them from the blocked list under this extensions tab. Efficient and can allow for simple corrections to mistakes.
- (2025-02-17) Stephanie Hettich: i lost the battle. 1 stars because it isnt working. useless. uninstalling...
- (2025-02-14) Seiji Minato: any feature is not working
- (2025-02-12) Taty Tuteto: It is working well, but it seems that cannot block user on comments at shorts videos.
- (2025-02-11) halisa uy: No longer working :'( this was my favorite Chrome/Edge extension. Youtube is basically unwatchable without it please fix 😥
- (2025-02-05) Shmuel: Rest in peace
- (2025-01-30) captain no one: It hasn't been working lately. On the homepage of Youtube it seems to still be doing it's job, But I see videos from channels I've blocked when I'm watching other videos. I hope this problem gets fixed.
- (2025-01-20) Riverboat Gambler: Doesn't work and there doesn't appear to be a way to easily contact the developer. Likely, something has changed in Chrome that has impacted the extension's ability to perform its service. Hopefully, the devs are aware and will be addressing. From what I read elsewhere, this is a pretty nifty extension to use.
- (2025-01-16) Cas Harris: this extension has always worked well for me but recently playlists made by blocked channels have stopped being hidden. one of the main reasons I use this extension is to block rage baiters, bigots, and sexual predators because no matter how many times you hit that 'not interested' button they just keep being recommended. I have personal experience with some of these creators so seeing their playlists show up again has been a bit frustrating. I really hope it can be fixed.
- (2025-01-05) Jenna Kenish: Used to work, but now the button to block a channel is gone
- (2024-12-29) Jogre: makes me laggy
- (2024-12-28) Dave Partlow: Why does it have an option to block comments if you can't block comments? I liked it before - like in July/August.
- (2024-12-21) Ken Block: Doesnt work in search !Guys, please repair this amazing extension! UPD WORKING!! LOVE YOU GUYS!
- (2024-12-21) Meh: Extension is broken, please fix
