Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Our Add-on enables the function of blocking anything you'd like. Block separate videos, users or whole channels with only one click! Naturally, the add-on supports regular expressions to ensure you the best customisation possible. And another thing: WE DO NOT COLLECT ANY USER INFORMATION AT ALL.

Do you like what we do? Do you want to support us and our work? A subscription on Patreon would help a lot at developing this tool as well as realising our future projects. Do you want to support us even more? Please donate and buy us a drink to stay hydrated (Hydration is important, though!).

We would also like to state why the Add-on requires these permissions.

Access your data for www.youtube.com:

  • needed for removing users/channels you have blocked on YouTube™, adding the 'x'-button, etc. (rather obvious)

Access browser tabs:

  • needed for keeping track of the YouTube™-Tabs and the Add-on setting page tab

Store unlimited amount of client-side data:

  • needed for blocking an unlimited number of users/channels

Big thanks for this :) great extension

Works wonderfully. This is basically a must have, it works very well to block out spammers, religion converter spammers, inappropriate offensive comments, and general waste of time ones. I have probably blocked about 200 channels by now, I also use it to help with blocking spoilers. 👍
