Pros

When it works, it effectively blocks unwanted channels from appearing on YouTube.
Managed to help control the viewing experience by hiding channels that users find toxic or annoying.
Users appreciate the concept of the extension and its initial functionality.

Cons

The extension has ceased to function properly for many users, with blocked channels reappearing.
Users frequently reported that the block option was missing or not working as intended.
There are issues with the blocked channels list being reset or cleared without user consent.

Most mentioned

The extension is currently not working for many users, with blocked channels still appearing.
The blocking feature seems unreliable, particularly in comments and search results.
Users express frustration about having to repeatedly block channels that they have previously blocked.

User reviews

Works as intended. Was annoyed at a YouTuber's views on a game and this extension worked perfectly to remove them from my recommended and search feeds effectively. Even by searching the account I no longer see them or their video(s). And you can fix any accidental channel blockings by going into your extensions tab to remove them from the blocked list under this extensions tab. Efficient and can allow for simple corrections to mistakes.
