its good, when it works. It keeps bricking specifically on Edge browser. works fine in chrome.
When its working the red X appears on each channel in the related page. And when it stops working, the red X is gone from the related page, but still appears on the video you are watching, but when you click it, it doesnt remove the channel from the related page. It still works from the search results page tho. but not on the related page. And also when you block a channel from the search results. that channel still appears in the related page. Please fix! this addon is really really nice when you want to discover new channels by hiding the ones youre already subbed to or have watched.
