Doesn't work
This is the best youtube blocker that I used so far. I just installed and transferred most of my blocked list into this one. What I liked about this extension is that it actually logs in the channel ID instead of Name which can be changed or bypassed while the ID is a unique identifier that can't be changed. What I also like about this extension is that you can block specific videos and comments. I love this feature because there are some very persistent videos being recommended to me when I search Youtube. I want to block those videos but I don't necessary want to block the their channel it just that their video always appears whenever I search it's the algorithm's fault. So this video helps me a ton by enabling me to block specific videos.
