Channel Blocker

Channel Blocker

Allows you to block YouTube™ videos and comments by blacklisting users and/or by using regular expressions.

What is Channel Blocker?
"Channel Blocker" is an Edge add-on that empowers users to customize their YouTube viewing by blocking undesired videos, users, channels or comments. It supports regular expressions for thorough customization. The add-on requires permissions for data access on YouTube, browser tabs access, and client-side data storage—all to provide optimal functionality without collecting any user information.

Summary

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

このadd-onで、channelをblock・非表示にできた。 設定後、Youtubeタブを再起動すると反映される。 Youtube検索後、チャンネルが除外されている。 履歴読み取りはYoutube HPだけになっているみたいだ。
