Reviews of video blocker for youtube™:
Really good. Best blocker with the most advanced features. Problem: When I visit a video that should be blocked using an external link, I can still view the video on the page that I have visited. Am I doing something wrong, or is it supposed to work this way? For example, I can still watch a music video by pasting the video link even though i have blocked videos in the music category.
It does not block in suggested videos anymore.
doesnt work at all
I've just started seeing videos with keywords I blocked last year. Maybe a Chrome update problem? All my blocked words are still listed, but I'm seeing them in suggested videos again.
I loved it .. too good. Thanks for Saving My time for just scrolling and watching every video
the youtube channel blocker extension is back... at least until google accidentally upgrades youtube in such a way that accidentally breaks all blocker extensions... again
Works as intended. And excellently at that. What would make this extension perfect is the ability to block videos based on date/video age, as I often get videos that I've seen before, but don't wish to block the channel or that kind of video.
Good, but I would like to have the option to remove videos shorter than a specific time.
this is amazing. it has everything I need. Thank you.
Exceptional
Works great so far, my biggest pet peeve when searching for videos of my favorite category was the thousands of click-bait videos. I just wanted an app that could block these videos from showing on my feed so I can access the worth-while content. It worked exactly as I wanted it too and was easy to use, I can even block tags like "sports" which I don't have a interest in, and those annoying YouTube shorts that were clogging up my subscription tab.
this is almost perfect and here is some suggestion which make it more perfect . recrate issue by disable extension from pop menu then set keep disable for 5 min. after 5 min extension will turn on again . now disable for 2nd time. here i am expecting to remember five min timer for auto turn on but it get disable till turn on again mannly so if you forget to do that you tube will eat hour from my life
The ability to filter by tags and categories is very useful but my api key reach a limit in under a month. 300,000 api requests in under a month and like a 20% error rate makes me wonder if this extension is doing additional stuff using the api key that it hides from the user. I would not use.
It works great to block those clickbait channels and youtubers.
Very helpful, thank you! As far as I can tell it's working as intended.
Update: As of Sept 2022, it doesn't seem to work properly, some bug has crept in? Or maybe it's a Windows problem, just letting the developer know. Well this extension has been updated, and now it's pretty good. You can block videos or channels. You can still get to a video/channel by typing in it's exact url, but it won't show up in your suggestions. It now shows the number of videos blocked on this page, and the number in total, which I was confused about. And it works as of August 2021, a lot of the others don't work anymore because Youtube keeps changing things. So, all good. :-)
After blocking a video it shows "watch anyway"!!! Useless if you are trying to block videos from children.
This extension allows me to block Youtube channels and prevent them from showing up in my searches. Finally, I have a good solution to blacklist all those clickbait channels with outrageous thumbnails. When Youtube makes code changes to their platform in the future, I hope the author of this extension continually updates it to ensure that it is compatible. Thank you!
works well at it's job
Was working 100% until yesterday, 16 Nov 2021. Hereafter, any attempt to play a video saved in a playlist FROM the playlist, results in the browser being redirected by Youtube back to the Explorer page. There is definitely something that changed on Youtube's side yesterday that is not yet compensated for in this awesome plugin...I sincerely hope the devs will be able to resolve this and I sincerely thank them for their generosity and for making this tool available to us. PS: To continue using this, I had to DISABLE the "Block opened videos" checkbox. Even after resetting the extension to its defaults, hence removing all channel names etc...it would still not work unless I uncheck this checkbox...
worthless, it only blocks 269 channels, doesn't block keyword channels without code and video block may also have a limit.
