by DatrixTHLK, 2 years agoI don't usually write reviews or anything for Firefox extensions, but I feel I must for this one. As far as Channel blocking I can only do that if I'm on a video of that users page not on the users page itself. I am only given an option to report users NOT block them like I was able to do in a previous version. Typing in words in a blacklist does NOT block the users who use said words within the blacklist I created. I'm already able to block YouTube Shorts and Movies since I just checked marked those in the options and generated playlists and it does remove the video paused function from interfering with me watching or listening to the videos.
It would be nice to be able to block comments on videos again just by clicking on the 3 dots next to the comment.
BlockTube's UI and functionality within it's extension doesn't work when I manually type in names of channels to block as it doesn't work for me. As of right now I can only give it 2 stars as it really is a necessity to block channels and comments as most comments are just recycled comments from other videos and meme comments and AI chat bots.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14188159, a month agoGood idea, but somehow only implemented half-heartedly. The page where you can convert the channel name into the unique ID doesn't work at all! You just get a 400 error back! Also, the instructions and description are very half-hearted and minimal. How, for example, do you enter a channel name? With @ in front, or without? It would be a nice tool if it were better thought out.

- Rated 5 out of 5by hubakon1368, 2 months agoPlaylists from channels I've blocked are still appearing while searching videos. Also, the "Block Channel" option isn't available when clicking the three-dot menu on comments. Clicking on the link of a blocked video still plays the video even when direct access blocking is on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by purvel, 2 months agoJust what I was looking for, works great!
But now I'm left wanting premade/community blocklists, too :p - Rated 4 out of 5by Azarilh, 2 months agoI wish i could block music videos based on the lyrics. I can't find an addon for that. :/

- Rated 5 out of 5by DCMHK, 2 months agoFirefox 143.0.3 with 0.4.6 works fine.
It is a MUST add-on for FF browsing YouTube.
Thanks to developer for all the hard work. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mortimer, 3 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by HuntressCody, 3 months agoThis add-on has deteriorated to the point it just flat-out does not work anymore. What a shame, since this was one of the best add-ons for making YouTube bearable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12246760, 4 months agoworks fine most of the time but seems to flag youtube's adblock detection recently, even if ad skipping is disabled
