Review summary

Users broadly praise YTBlock for effectively blocking unwanted YouTube content—videos, comments, channels, and playlists—and for flexible blocking options (keywords, category restrictions, and per-item blocking) that tailor what appears. The extension is seen as a major improvement to the YouTube experience, reducing toxicity and clickbait. However, recurring issues include reliability after updates, browser slowdown, and inconsistent blocking on the homepage versus video pages. Some users note that blocking may depend on an overlay, and homepage coverage remains incomplete. Overall, it works well when it functions but maintenance and reliability concerns persist.

Pros

Effective filtering of unwanted YouTube content (videos, comments, channels, and playlists).
Flexible blocking options including keyword-based blocking, category restrictions, and per-item blocking.
Improves the YouTube experience by reducing toxicity and clickbait.
Works on search results and in private windows (coverage beyond the homepage).

Cons

Reliability issues after updates; some users report it no longer works.
Notable browser slowdown and CPU usage impacting performance.
Blocking is inconsistent on the YouTube homepage/main page versus video pages.
Blocking sometimes depends on an overlay and may not occur if the overlay is disabled.

2026-08-21	Fi*****	Great extension. 8/10. I just wish you could add keywords to video block page without having to unlock it with a password also maybe a sync option so it keeps same settings between browsers. Only issue is it sometimes doesn't work it is not as consistent as it is in edge/brave browsers. Please get this extension on same level as chromium browsers. Thanks

2026-08-05	Kr*****	A little unreliable. Works most of the time, currently (August 2026), but has some issues with not blocking or offering the block options on videos, and has been like that for at least two months. Things are getting past it. It will still block most of the time, but be prepared to make a list then tell YT directly "I don't like the video" because the options this extension offered do not show up anymore. Like I said, blocking with a list still works most of the time, but no longer all the time. I have no other extensions outside of privacy badger and uBlock. They worked fine together before so I doubt those are the issue. I would still recommend this extension, I just hope the creator updates it soon.
