Very good plugin, but the Youtube Mix blocker/hider stopped working, both on Firefox and Chrome alike.

Jakub Zieliński, 2025-03-04Hides lots of unwanted things, but even this baby can't do things like adding a "do not recommend channel" to search results, or actually making search results relevant to what I asked. I'm nor surprised because Youtube borked their search relevancy just as hard as google search results, which is now just as bad as trying to find something on Amazon. It's almost like being back in the early 2000s, but in a bad way.
