I don't blame the developer(s) one bit, but my god I need somewhere to vent. I am so, SO tired of youtube and their efforts to get rid of adblockers, content blockers, alternate apps, pretty much anything that gives users more control over the shlt being forced down their throat.

Everything breaks constantly. This app breaks every few weeks after it's fixed, and STN for my TV breaks quite literally multiple times a day. Those devs have had to treat it like a full time job just to keep it working.

Google/Youtube puts this much effort into policing stuff like this but make ZERO effort to fix the problem on their end. All they care about is money.

Thanks for your continuous effort but it broke again unfortunately.

So helpful. I've only used it a handful of times but boy oh boy does it come in handy. Thank you for making this!!!!!

I can't use it because when I activate this add-on getting "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service" message

Absolutely goated addon, very useful!

Addon still works.
The button to block a channels stopped working.
BUT you can still manually add channels you want to block in the addon settings!

siiiiii

Excellent extension. The only way to block stupid videos from YouTube.

Like I said - I am changing it back to 5 stars because it is working again. And it is AMAZING add-on, essential for me. Shields me from stuff I do not want to see ever again. Thank you!

Amazing and very useful extension for blocking channels

It works! Now I can block annoying channels that post fake videos. Thanks!

Problem fixed. Thank you.

8 months ago, the add-on stopped working, then the authors worked tirelessly to fix it. It seems that youtube/google/alphabet just can't stand the idea of people having control over the endless disgusting slop oozing out of their website, because an update to youtube has broken this add-on once again.

I see some people saying that only the context menu has broken, but for my part, the entire add-on no longer functions at all. Oddly, the mobile version appears to still be working...

At this point, I wouldn't blame the contributors for giving up on this sisiphean chore. I certainly hope not! I want to stress how good this add-on is, WHEN it's working, in that youtube is so much more tolerable when you aren't being bombarded with gross-out bait videos, propaganda, or 'exclamation and arrow' spam. Sometimes you don't hate a channel, but get nothing but recommendations for that person... and you just want to filter your search results temporarily.

This tool is amazingly versatile, and I think indispensable in taming our increasingly corporatized internet.

This add-on is the best thing since sliced bread. You heard me right!
BUT, Youtube temporarily broke it around Oct 1, 2024 by changing an API to further their war against ad blockers.
Seriously, the ONLY reason this add-on is not more popular is people don't know about it. I have almost complete control of what YT decides to throw in my face - wonderful!

It makes YT usable again.
Many heartfelt thanks to the author!

edit: the bug affecting context menu blocking mentioned below was fixed (v. 0.4.4.).

if you experience youtube disabling playback due to blocktube: make sure to uncheck the "Disable YouTube's audio loudness normalization" setting in blocktube.
-----------------------------
the addon works great until youtube makes changes and breaks its functionality.

currently (v. 0.4.3.) the option to click the three dots beside a video and choose to block a video or channel is broken.

manually typing the video/channel id into the blocking filters still works.

the content that was blocked earlier by video/channel title, and video/channel id is staying blocked and the blocking of shorts also still works.

advanced blocking still works.

the addon needs an update to fix current bugs.

makes youtube usable by letting you block racism, gore, etc. It would be nice if the context menu let you add a comment at the time of blocking (you can add a comment in the list manually after blocking you just have to remember to edit the list)
