Extension summary

Are you tired of those YouTube recommendations with less than 1000 views? Then this add-on may be of use for you. It blocks YouTube videos with views less than a threshold you may set in the add-on settings.

It is possible to set other YouTube channels as exemptions, so the latest videos from your favorite channels will still be shown on the YouTube start-page. The add-on settings allow furthermore to block YouTube shelfs like the "Breaking news" one. When using an ad blocker, the empty slots of blocked thumbnail-ads will be filled with videos.

This is an experimental add-on, so please write me when there are bugs, or you would like some features to be added :).
