Great extension! It does the job
This is beautiful.
Any chance you could add a feature that allows users to manually blur specific video thumbnails on YouTube? This could be integrated as a menu item within the "Three Dot" menu underneath each video or as a standalone icon/menu on top of the thumbnails. This would be useful for cases where I generally don't mind a content creator's thumbnails but find a particular one obnoxious or ugly and want to hide it.
Hi, it works great but how do i change my settings? I forgot to add some channels to my blacklist but i dont know where to change it.
