YouTube changed something, the extension no longer works

Edited review down from a 4 star. The more youtube updates, the less and less functional this becomes. Really hoping for someone to make a maintained version of this

Last update was over 8 months ago, since than a few features stopped working. Blocked channels and the option to block works in home page but not in video sidebar. Some random select videos are blocked no matter what and can't be unblocked. Works fine otherwise but those 2 issues are really big annoyances.

Please fix!! Needs to be updated. When using this extension and loading a video on YouTube, it just closes and sends you back to the homepage, making it impossible to use. Likely a problem with YouTube in general, but this needs to be fixed.

Otherwise an awesome extension when it works; it lets you block out the annoying content you hate seeing, and makes sure you never see it again. Please update this so I can change the review to 5 stars like it deserves!

It works fine, but sometimes the context menu disappears. Refreshing Youtube pages often does not restore it, and instead a full restart of the browser is required. Other than that everything's gravy.

(note: this review is heavily altered from its original state, it was initially a two-star complaining about the context menu disappearance, but now that it's come back after a fix on my end I figured it was unfair to leave the review and rating as is)

EDIT: Never mind again, back to two stars as the context menu no longer appears on videos in the "recommended" sidebar on a video page despite it appearing on videos in my history. Please fix this.

On page "Home" of Youtube the blocking options are lacking if not sign in. As I remember they existed even if not signed in. And also blocked videos and channels reappear again there. Please fix.

When attempting to watch a video on a channel you've blocked previously, instead of saying the video is blocked, you're met with a blank screen and the video is blacked out. Leaving you wondering why youtube isn't working. Meanwhile, on chrome, it shows that the video/channel is blocked.

This needs to be fixed, you wasted a lot of my time.

カスタムURLを使っているチャンネルは右クリックから追加できないようです。

The extension still works and can still block videos and channels, but you now have to do it manually since the "Block Video" and "Block Channel" buttons no longer do anything.

Hopefully the developer will fix it soon.

Edit: It's not working again.

It was good when it worked, not anymore

please developer please fix this problem blocktube isn't working even I click on block channel it and it's videos again appear on search and homescreen please fix it as soon as possible

"Click on "Not interested / Don't recommend channel" when blocking using context menus"

Please split up the "Not interested" and the "Don't recommend channel".
Those things are 2 complete different things.

Favorite channels you're subscribed to can have uninteresting video's too.

it was amazing but it stopped working :( will give better score again if fixed

A strange bug: after one day of working, YT suddenly recognizes it as an unwanted adblocker and disables playback, you have to remove cookies both from google.* and youtube.com. Also, the Block video option from the 3-dot menu seems to not hide a video.

Was a very good extension but it stopped working a few days ago.

This used to be an essential add-on, but starting several months ago context menu blocking broke for comments. And now context menu blocking is fully broken for videos and channels too. I can still block the channels by manually adding them by name or ID (which is a pain to find/extract), but this is an unacceptably slow process. I really hope the dev finds the time to fix it.

Does not block channels anymore. Currently when you click to block a channel, it does add the channel to Channel ID list, but the channel and its videos still show up on YouTube.

I don't usually write reviews or anything for Firefox extensions, but I feel I must for this one. As far as Channel blocking I can only do that if I'm on a video of that users page not on the users page itself. I am only given an option to report users NOT block them like I was able to do in a previous version. Typing in words in a blacklist does NOT block the users who use said words within the blacklist I created. I'm already able to block YouTube Shorts and Movies since I just checked marked those in the options and generated playlists and it does remove the video paused function from interfering with me watching or listening to the videos.

It would be nice to be able to block comments on videos again just by clicking on the 3 dots next to the comment.

BlockTube's UI and functionality within it's extension doesn't work when I manually type in names of channels to block as it doesn't work for me. As of right now I can only give it 2 stars as it really is a necessity to block channels and comments as most comments are just recycled comments from other videos and meme comments and AI chat bots.

It doesn't work fine, the blockchannel in the comments option doesn't do anything.

So you can no longer block comments.

As of today, Feb 29, 2024, blocktube no longer works on Firefox. Clicking on block channel or block video does nothing on Youtube.

Раньше работал исправно, но с недавнего времени перестала работать блокировка каналов и видео через контекстное меню. Всё еще можно заполнять черные списки вручную, но это же жутко неудобно.

Almost worthless now, it has remembered which channels I've blocked previously but now I cannot block videos or channels at all.

設定の名前がぜんぶ英語ですから、私は理解することができません。私は操作を理解できない状態で使いました。すみません。
All the names of the settings are in English, so I can not understand them. I used it without understanding the operation. Please forgive me.

it's not work from yesterday

I gotta be real honest, this app is a godsend. Especially when it comes to people happily leaking videos online and/or spoiling a game as it comes out.

Get this, please.

Edit: Due to some strangeness, My entire blocklist got wiped. This has happened multiple times. And as the developers seem to be content on ignoring the GitHub.

Until the developers start actually giving a shit, I'm bumping my rating down.
