- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13259883, 8 years agoYoutube switched up it's layout and no matter how much I press the "block channel" button on Youtube with my right click the app still won't work. It's just not the same constantly clicking "not interested" next to the videos. I want to block out annoying channels that are no longer useful or relevant to me.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13067370, 8 years agoI have tried & tried to get this program to work with no luck yet. It does nothing at all for me on Fire Fox. I just gave up on this program & I had to uninstalled it from my PC. Hopefully this gets fixed in an upcoming update for other people who want to use it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13174466, 8 years agoThis used to work really well until a while back it quit working all together. Now it will block the first entry after you delete it and reinstall it, but that's it. Useless currently...
- Rated 1 out of 5by ashleedawg, 8 years agoI take back the nice things I said, this appears to be stuffed with malware that shows up after reboot. Affected both browsers i installed it in (firefox and chrome) and I haven't installed anything since. Loads a fake FLASH Update screen that takes me to some nefarious site. Uninstalled - Reboot - Ran Defender - Reboot - Problem solved I think.
Combined with troublesome UI and even spelling mistakes, I'm not giving this utility any more chances. I'm sure I can find another tool to do the job. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13135179, 8 years agoSimply does not function at all. Tried manually entering the channel name, and tried the click menu shortcut, and after refreshing the page, then closing FireFox completely, the channel's videos are still showing up in my search results.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13102817, 8 years agoTitle says it all add in the channel names, use right click "block videos from this channel." and it does absolutely nothing. Refresh the page of the video you're watching, still there. Close entire browser make a new session, the videos that you don't want to see, are still there.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13040629, 8 years agoI had a list of over 4000+ shitty, clickbait and cancerous channels as well as channels with videos that have been in my recommendations for weeks. I accidentally blocked something wrong and it ended up blocking everything on youtube. So i had to export my list, empty it on the extension, go into the file, and remove the latest added one. But now I cannot import that list again. So all the channels i've blocked are now gone and this .json file is as good as this extension now. Worthless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gamerix, 8 years agoDoesn't work, even if I add channel manually, it still doesn't work
- Rated 1 out of 5by nobody, 8 years agoDoesn't work. When I enter a channel name or attempt to add it the channel is still visible. FIX THIS PLEASE!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12986837, 8 years agoIf it would work.

Please have mercy sir addon creator i dont want to see cancer on my youtube trending page. - Rated 1 out of 5by trancedman, 8 years agoThe addon does not seem to work anumore. Please fix soon. I'll be back again with 5 stars.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Александр, 8 years agoExport work but import doesn't. If you exported settings you cannot import this settings again.
Add-on can just stop work and you need reinstall it. But you totally lose your settings. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12914681, 8 years agoThis add on is a joke. It works fine on Chrome, but no matter what you do, it will not let you add channels to avoid from one computer running Firefox to another. They offer advice that does not work unless you're a career broadcast engineer or have a computer degree.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12838031, 8 years agothis addon works great in chrome but the firefox version makes loading any YouTube page very slow and sometimes freezes up the browser
- Rated 1 out of 5by odo, 8 years agoNo rightmouseclick, no copy paste of an url, nothing works in ff.
Does work in chrome however, that browser I do not use.
We have to swollow the garbage b*llsh*t I guess.
Mindpolution if you want it or not.
Total control is here! - Rated 1 out of 5by 794, 8 years agoSad to see this being neglected and the dev not giving us a way to modify the blacklist of keywords used to block videos.
Even when this was working, the implementation was crap. Let's say you see a video in your suggestions list and want to block that channel. Instead of the extension blocking the channel, it blocks the channel and keywords in the video title. Then, when you're scrolling through channels that you *do* want to see, it blocks videos that shared keywords with the videos you've blocked.
Want to access the blacklist so you can only make it block channel names and keywords of your choice? Too bad. - Rated 1 out of 5by Crow, 9 years agoIt worked well before. Now it hides EVERY video on youtube no matter if it contains the blacklisted word or not. Oh come on devs....
