This is the only extension I've found that actually lets you whitelist specific youtube channels. Thank you so much

This is an essential addon. The developer is responsive and updates when YT changes its page structure. He's added a couple of features I requested. And, yes, I do buy him a coffee from time-to-time.

It does bog down even on a very fast Macbook when the number of blocked items gets big. I have over 50k channels of slop, junk, and uselessness and often get the spinning ball as the extension analyzes the page and does its work. I sometimes have to disable it (with the convenient switch provided). This is a reflection on YT pushing junk and not the developer.

There things that could be improved, but it is very nice to be able to block certain channels to appear in your recommendations. I wish there was ability to block channels in the recommendations but not in the search results or subscriptions. Overall a very useful tool.

I am a student and I was having a hard time concentrating whenever I had to watch a youtube video covering some topic from class.
All it takes is 2 steps: connect the free youtube data API from google and restrict every category apart from "Education".
Highly recommendable.

Incredibly good extension that deserves more attention. Before I used it I was very frustrated with YouTube. It had a high tendency to recommend me videos that I didn't want to see and the comments on videos I did want to see were often overly toxic. While the website gave options to filter these things they were extremely limited and often felt like they did practically nothing. This extension does so much to help with that. Just type in a keyword often associated with the topic you don't want to see (ie the name of a new show or game you don't want to be spoiled on or things like "situation" and "downfall" to block poorly made video essays) and as long as that's in the title it will completely remove it from recommendations. I also appreciate that this extends to things like comments, playlists and especially channels. An issue I do have with this extension is that it doesn't extend to the contents within the video itself. There's been multiple times where annoying YouTubers bring up unwanted topics despite the title and/or video having no relation to it. You can simply block the video and/or channel afterwards though so its not that big of a deal. Overall very good extension for filtering unwanted and low effort videos. Thanks for making YouTube enjoyable again!

It's not working at all. I tried using this regex pattern to block all those annoying clickbaity videos with titles like "The X situation is crazy!" and it didn't block anything:

\bsituation[\w\s]is[\w\s](crazy|insane|wild|unbelievable)

EDIT: I tried it again with the developer's instructions and it is working as intended now. Thank you very much!

Does as it says and helps me block ai slop and political ragebait content

Perfect

Works great! Recommended!

Works well and helps a lot, especially love the ability to set click based disabling. Would be nice, if there was a way to apply the blocking to just the video and not the recommended videos on the side, as it slows down the site, even if I have disabled the sidebar with Untrap.

Banger extension. Actually smites all the clankers in youtube comments, which keep commenting same vile stuff under literally every comment on popular channels.

now works again, great app

works great after the sept fix

Version 5.13.2 has fixed the videos not being blocked issue, great dev response time

UPDATE from 2025-09-02:

The issue seems to have been fixed in
Version 5.13.2 (September 2, 2025).

Thanks!

=== ORIGINAL ENTRY ===

5 stars, because I think, this can be fixed.

Version 5.13.1 (August 28, 2025):

- On the main page no red X after the channel name and no entries in the menu.
- But this works, when I open the video.
- Blocked videos are listed on the main page without a blocking-overlay, however, on the video's page you get the blocking-overlay.
- It seems that the blocking-overlay sometimes works on the main page as well.

5.13.2 works again👍

Thanks for all your hard work on this. I've been happy with this extension until now, but since the latest update, videos from channels I've blocked are showing up again. When I hover over a video and click the red block button, the channel gets added to the block list in the options, but it doesn't actually hide the videos. I've been using it with the overlays hidden, and it seems like the blocking only works properly when the overlays are shown.
