チャンネルブロック自体は正常に機能するが、拡張機能利用中はYoutubeの「プレイリスト」カテゴリが全て非表示にされるため不便。

Helps a lot with productivity. Thank you!

Works well with hiding what you don't want to see. However, it also hides other things that you actually want to. Currently, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I did not include it in the things to hide whatsover. Even when I temporarily disable the settings, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I can see blocked channels.
