YouBlock: Efficient YouTube Spam Blocker Extension

YouBlock is a unique Chrome extension that comes as a solution for spam messages in YouTube streaming video chats.

Is there a limit on the amount of ppl you can block? I just reported the same guy 3 x's in a row. I really hope this is not the case, it's been a great app. Going to try & reinstall. So far it hasn't been working for a couple of months.

How am i supposed to use this? I installed it, then went to the Youtube chat. I reported someone, and their message kept popping up. YouBlock button didn't appear at top right, either. Edit: Actually, it's working right now. It didn't when I first installed though.

Dude, i love YOUBLOCK, but youtube has changed the design and layout of the live stream chats, and now YouBlock doesn't work. Please fix it. It's the best extension out there! Thank you!
