About this extension

Our Add-on enables the function of blocking anything you'd like. Block separate videos, users or whole channels with only one click! Naturally, the add-on supports regular expressions to ensure you the best customisation possible. And another thing: no user information is collected.

Do you like what we do? Do you want to support us and our work? A subscription on Patreon would help a lot at developing this tool as well as realising our future projects. Do you want to support us even more? Please donate and buy us a drink to stay hydrated (Hydration is important, though!)..

It works fairly well, but I have blocked a channel Mony Tatsch on my desktop but it keeps showing up on my Roku YouTube app. It's a garbage channel that takes old political videos and sticks the word MAGA in the headline to get clicks.
