Allows you to block YouTube™ videos and comments by blacklisting users and/or by using regular expressions.
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.

- (2024-05-20) gideonsward: With Some Channels it wont give you the option to block, that wasn't the case in the beginning.

- (2024-04-21) Bible Thumper: it was good when it worked but its not working anymore (the x doesnt show up next to channels or comments). It happened before i updated chrome and persisted after updating. when i manually try to add a user to the list and refresh it doesnt do anything either. April 2024: developers gave up on this one, all the accounts i blocked in the past are unblocked despite their names still being on the list on the extension.
- (2024-04-09) Pepe Ejdv: Funciona correctamente. Gracias por la extensión. Usaba Video Blocker pero ya no funciona. Y ahora el 08-04-2024 a dejado de funcionar Channel Blocker con la nueva actualización de YT. Saludo!
- (2023-12-03) 斉藤敏朗: チャンネルだけではなくコメント欄で動画を見ていないor内容を理解していないような頓珍漢なコメントをする目障りなユーザーをブロックできて便利だったのですが、現在ブロックできなくなっています。 重宝していた機能なので修正していただけるとありがたいです。

- (2023-11-15) Jane Johnston: I absolutely love this extension. It works perfectly to block comments and channels with the click of a mouse. It's made Youtube a lot less aggravating. Quit blocking comments today 11/2023. There is no x by the names, anymore. Doesn't work if you input the name manually, either.
- (2023-11-11) Игорь Орлов: It's not working, it's not blocking anything. I don't recommend installing

- (2023-11-04) BlueCat: This makes youtube so much better. Not only can you you can hide all of the trash channels (hi Linus, bye Linus), and all of the trash people, you can export the configuration from one browser and import it into another, making your blocklist completely portable.
- (2023-11-01) Aly (Aly): 很感謝你寫的工具幫助我擋掉那些放上噁心封面的影片頻道,每次都會被YouTube的其他人看了欄目噁心到,檢舉也沒有用,多虧你讓我可以享受YT
- (2023-10-10) J S: Now I can block videos by titles. fantastic!
- (2023-10-08) Arman Hossain: This is really life saving for me. Annoying youtubers having hundreds of channels now I can mute forever. But I hope the dev releases a feature, from blocking particular youtube account, while it's now blocking from youtube site.
- (2023-10-07) Paseos con Tim: Mac OS Ventura. THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
- (2023-10-03) Giang Nguyễn Hoàng: Not work anymore, 3/10/2023
- (2023-10-02) Vítězslav Sofka: Blokování kanálů na youtube nefunguje. Možná funguje, ale chybí návod, jak to mám provést. Přidal jsem jména Kanálu mezi blokované a vůbec blokované nejsou, jdou spustit nadále i přesto, že je má tento zásuvný modul blokovat. Přidejte návod, jinak je to úplně k ničemu.
- (2023-09-30) Ron Brown: I blocked a channel called "SpaceX Inc" Lo and behold it also blocked "SpaceX." It's obvious that you are not using exact match, but anything that contain the query. If you give an option to select exact match or "contains" query, I would change my rating.
- (2023-09-25) Alam Shah: i like the idea of this app. does this solely work on your browser or will it work across different devices like on my phone or tv?
- (2023-09-20) hb a: 하나하나 직접 찾아서 이름을 입력해야 하는 게 번거롭지만 그걸 감안해도 될 정도로 최고입니다. 유튜브 이 쓰레기 자식들 검색어랑 아무 상관도 없는 쓰레기 영상들 죄다 추천으로 띄어주니까 진짜 짜증났었는데 쇼츠까지 차단하면 더 바랄 게 없겠지만 지금으로선 이게 최선이네요
- (2023-09-04) 쥬피리: 유튜브에서 검색 내용에 관련도 없는 혐오 썸네일 영상이 자꾸 떴었는데 이제 혐오 컨텐츠 채널 차단 일일히 하니까 훨씬 나아졌네.. 꼭 추천
- (2023-08-31) Kim Daisy: 최고의 앱....엄청 혐오스러운 동영상이 맞춤 동영상이랍시고 올라와서 스트레스 받았는데 속이 다 시원합니다....
- (2023-08-22) Peaceful happiness: 진작에 사용할 걸 그랬습니다. 유튜브에 혐오 썸네일 신고하고 차단해도 계속떠서 참다참다 설치했는데 너무 좋습니다. 간단하게 차단되고 너무 좋네요. 이 간단한 걸 유튜브 코리아는 왜 방치하는 지 이해가 안되네요. 일을 안하나 진짜 짜증나네
- (2023-08-21) GPotatoGD: Not perfect, there's the occasional user you can't block, so you need to search them and then block them, but this is a darn great extension.
- (2023-08-17) Linda Nguyen: It works really well. I just need to block the news channel hopefully to withdraw from my social media addiction.
- (2023-08-09) HSIAO Jack: It's the greatest application ever!
- (2023-08-07) v erbose: This is gold, very useful considering how many youtubers are not only complete trash, but also have multiple channels. Thank you developer!
- (2023-08-06) 달: 혐오 썸네일 동영상들 때문에 고통스러웠는데 너무 감사합니다.
- (2023-08-05) Natyine: I have no idea why YouTube does not have this future built into the service but it works. Just as advertised I have been able to block all the annoying YouTube channels in my feed.
- (2023-08-01) レッサー: 嫌いなユーザーをブロックする時には便利ですが、ブロックではなく非表示にするだけの拡張機能です。 短所は名前だけブロックした場合は名前に当てはまる人はブロックできるが同一の名前も非表示になってしまう、勿論ブロックしたではなく✗のマークから非表示にさせるためにあると思えば大丈夫。 もう一つは『他の人はこちらも視聴しています』は非表示と✗がないということです。 相手のブロックはしないけれど非表示させたい時には使えるかもしれないですね。
- (2023-07-29) Daniel Ljungqvist: Cannot believe that YouTube doesn't provide this option build in into their platform.
- (2023-07-24) Moritz Lehmann: Excellent to get rid of all these thousands of trash YouTube channels! In combination with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock essential to prevent the urge to vomit on the YouTube website. However, once the list of blocked channels gets very long, this extension makes YouTube freeze and crash. I think the problem is when loading comments under videos. Please fix.
- (2023-07-23) OstepopSalat: AMAZING ! being able to hide channels im already subscribed to and channels ive already watched makes it so much easier to find/discover new channels in both the related page and the search result page! 5star
- (2023-07-20) Juanchope Studios: muy regular.. en ocasiones me muestra por breves periodos de tiempo videos de los usuarios indeseables que he querido bloquear.. la idea es que no me los muestre en absoluto! para eso uso esta extension! ademas, no bloquea si algun video sale en las recomendaciones de la derecha en cada ventana, tampoco bloquea los shorts.. asi que, señores.. o hacen las cosas bien, o mejor no hagan nada! no estamos pagandoles pero nadie los obligo tampoco a diseñar esta mediocridad.
- (2023-06-30) Jason Smith: So far, this works exactly as I wanted it to. I was getting SO SICK!!!! of stupid spammy accounts showing up REPEATEDLY in my front page and in search results that had NOTHING to do with what I was searching. Not sure what these guys paid Youtube to basically insert themselves into every "Recommended" option Youtube offers. Accidentally click on one video and you will be haunted for years to come. And clicking "Do Not Recommend" never works, especially in searching. I open this add-on and type in the name of the channel I want to block. Viola. Channel gone!!! I had about 7 of the "Movie Recap" channels that rotate through my recommended feed. Now, I no longer see their garbage content. It SUPER improves my experience. Overall, pretty happy with a feature that Youtube should have included on their platform years ago.
- (2023-06-19) Rishabh Jain: Finally I can get rid of those cringy Indian channels that pop up on every damn search.
- (2023-06-18) Rwyn RX: doesnt block shorts from a channel, only normal videos, which is so unfortunate
- (2023-06-16) ilma: ハッシュタグ検索結果ページに対応していない。半端なのでユーザースクリプト適用させてる人はそっちで類似のスクリプトを探したほうが良い This extension does not support hashtag search pages.
- (2023-06-03) Colton Eastland: Blocking by title doesn't appear to work anymore, who knows what else isn't working. I know that recently, there was a Youtube API update, so maybe that's the culprit.
- (2023-05-30) Eric L: The channel blocker doesn't work any more if you're trying to block a channel from the results page. Clicking on the X does nothing. It only works if you're blocking channels from the comment section. Please fix, otherwise this is a very useful extension.
- (2023-05-20) Yanus (J.B.): Very good. Sometimes blocked channel back on view list but it happen rare. Would be nice to have word list block which content you do not like: for example cats, dogs, toys. This function is inside Youtube account but is complex to get there
- (2023-05-17) JoeBlu: One of the best things to happen to Youtube. Thank you. Suggestion 1: A Region blocker. To block all videos from a certain region / country. Suggestion 2: an ability to bloc specific words like "class" in the title without blocking classical music is desperately needed.
- (2023-05-15) T2: It's a lifesaver and braincell saver. I use this extension in conjunction with DF Tube, Unhook, and Clickbait Remover (or thumbnail hider)
- (2023-05-14) Benjamin: this extension breaks uBlock origin
- (2023-05-07) ヴィステル: 『Channel Blocker』っといいながらブロックしているわけでもなく、ただ動画を空白化して非表示にしているだけ。 なのでYou Tube側からおすすめされたら普通に表示されます、しかも空白化されてるので一覧が所々スカスカの見栄えの悪い状態になります。 使う価値のない拡張機能です。
- (2023-05-07) Ham Burg: Works like a charm
- (2023-05-06) LightBurn: works. blocks user accounts in anyones comment section. Youtube should already have this feature.
- (2023-04-20) Stupid Queer: Godsend, no more fake military Indian channels and streamers I hate being recommended. Works just fine at the time of this review.
