User Reviews
Pros
- Extremely reliable and effective at blocking channels/videos, praised as the most dependable filter.
- Rich feature set includes Channel Block Filter, Title Block Filter, Hidden Comment User List, Export/Import, and Short Video Filter.
- Powerful regex/unicode language filtering enables blocking content across multiple scripts/languages.
- Helps address harmful-channel issues on YouTube and cleans up the feed for a better viewing experience.
- Active maintenance with frequent updates and quick fixes when issues arise.
Cons
- UI/UX could be improved for easier list management (need alphabetical sorting, easier add/delete, and a save/update option).
- Filtering isn’t always perfect and can be affected by other extensions, leading to occasional misses.
- Some language filtering limitations remain (e.g., Chinese content can be harder to filter) according to user feedback.

Is YouTube Channel Blocker Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
YouTube Channel Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
YouTube Channel Blocker is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
