User reviews

Excellent extension! Helped me avoid spoilers from online tournaments.

Please add an option to make this apply only to videos from specific channels. For example, "AfreecaTV eSports" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK5eBtuoj_HkdXKHNmBLAXg. Also it would be nice if there was an option to toggle whether or not recommended videos in the sidebar get blacked out. And if the blackout could be applied to videos in your subscriptions and only to blacklisted channels. I was subscribed to StarCast TV and their ASL VODs have been getting uploaded way faster than the Tastosis VODs. Yesterday they uploaded the 3rd place match before I had seen any of the Ro4 VODs from Tastosis, so the thumbnail showing the 3rd place match players spoiled the results for Ro4. I actually unsubscribed from StarCastTV over that, but I really don't want to have to unsubscribe from them since they have so much other good content. If you could add those features this extension would be perfect and I would rate it 5 stars and never turn it off. Without those features though, I don't know if I will continue using it.
