| 2025-01-16 |  | | ru | Расширение значительно замедляется, когда черный список становится очень большим, например, при наличии более 200 каналов или более 2000 видео. Это происходит независимо от того, включено или выключено наложение. Такое ощущение, что каждый раз, когда новые видео загружаются в ленту поиска, расширение проверяет весь черный список с самого начала и повторяет этот процесс при каждом обновлении содержимого страницы. Есть ли способы оптимизировать производительность или улучшить обработку больших списков блокировки? Смена браузера или повышение приоритета процесса .exe не помогла. Расширение в браузере единственное, дополнительных мешающих факторов нет. Пример сценария — я не доверяю алгоритмам YouTube и предпочитаю блокировать ненужные видео вручную, а также предпочитаю видеть, что я блокирую, чтобы ничего не упустить. Это хороший способ найти интересные видео с небольшим количеством просмотров или какой-то новый материал. Это причина более 2000 видео в списке блокировки. Это базовый сценарий, когда результаты поиска формируются очень медленно. Я не программист и не понимаю как это работает под капотом. Может вы сможете прокомментировать ситуацию? The extension gets significant slowdowns when the blocklist becomes very large, such as having 200+ channels or 2000+ videos. It happens regardless of whether the overlay is on or off. It feels like every time when new videos are loading in the search feed, the extension checks the entire blocklist from the beginning, and repeats this process whenever the page content refreshes. Are there any ways to optimize performance or improve the handling of large blocklists? Changing the browser or increasing the priority of the .exe process did not help. The browser extension is the only one, there are no additional interfering factors. An example scenario - I don’t trust YouTube algorithms and prefer to manually block unnecessary videos, and prefer to see what I’m blocking so that nothing is left out. This is a good way to find interesting videos with a small number of views or some new material. This is cause of 2000+ videos in blcoklist. It's the basic scenario when the searching results forms vely slow. I'm not a programmer and I don't understand how it works under the hood. Maybe you can comment on the situation? |

| 2025-01-01 |  | | en | In the beginning it worked perfectly. Then started showing the videos from channels that have been blocked. You can block any content in channels, but that still shows up. I am sorry to say, this extension is of no help now because I have to constantly removed the things that has been blocked!!! |

| 2024-12-26 |  | | ru | В наглую начали пихать видео каких-то индусов в списке видео. == Ага, а видосы сами себе появились вдруг, причем при отключении расширения - они пропадают |

| 2024-12-26 |  | | en | I get the feeling this app is not blocking anything at all. How many times do I have to block a channel for the channel to literally be blocked? Today alone, there is one channel I have blocked at least 6 times. I'm in search of a blocker that actually blocks with one click. |

| 2024-12-25 |  | | en | Blocked channels still appearing in the searches and recommended videos. it Does "block" so you can't watch but they still pollute the search results. |
| 2024-12-19 |  | | en | The creator of this extension is a true hero. |
