Hello BlockTube developer,

Thank you for creating this excellent extension. I have two suggestions/bug reports:

1. **Channel blocking persistence issue**
When I block channels using the channel filter, some blocked channels reappear after some time. I suspect this might be because YouTube changes the channel IDs periodically. Could you consider implementing a more persistent blocking mechanism that tracks and blocks channels even if their IDs change?

2. **Shorts filtering bugs**
I have enabled the "Block YouTube Shorts" feature, but:
- When I search on YouTube, Shorts-related videos still appear in search results (the filter doesn't work in search)
- After viewing search results, clicking on a Shorts video causes an error where it tries to navigate to the YouTube home page instead of playing the video

I would like Shorts to be completely blocked everywhere — in search results, home page, and channel pages — so that I cannot access, view, or be notified of any Shorts content regardless of where I am on YouTube.

Thank you for your hard work on this extension!

ブロックしていてもつべの右側に普通に表示される。何一つ機能していない。

It works perfectly, most dont work on youtube's search now but this one worked very well.

Doesn't work at all for shorts
block controls don't show up in the menu for shorts
i even searched the channel names so i can block them through a video in the search result (good lucky if they only have shorts) and their shorts STILL show up in my feed

i just want to ban these slop short content farmers...this one news-content-farm guy showed up more than 30 times in my feed despite me always instantly skipping his shorts and now even blocking doesn't do anything...

Blocking my own playlists, need a filter to exclude a channel or playlist from blocks

Thanks. YouTube is so shitty with useless channels recommendations

🔥! аналогов нет

Works great! I seem to have mixed results, like it works and sometimes it doesn't, when adding the channel ID or channel name, but I play around with it and it eventually works between the 2. Just erase the text that's there and push enter for the next line of whatever word/channel ID you put for blocking and "save". Thank goodness! Thank you! You have restored relief when browsing videos!

no longer works

Great extension for pc and mobile, however as of recently youtube has done something and the block channel or block video options on mobile are no longer available. PLEASE FIX

Doesn't work with shorts and there is no way to block a channel from the channels page, which means you can't block channels that only have shorts.

doesnt seem to work that consistently (god know why, check the github personally) but it works with another blocker extension so ive just been using this to block spam comments it works flawless for that job

本当にありがたい拡張機能です
PC版サイトだとコメントの3点リーダーにブロックする項目がないのだけ気になりますが本当に助かっています

It does it's job.

Extremely useful and works great for the most part. The advanced blocking seems to break whenever there are certain special characters like pipes "|" in the video titles though; I'd like to see that fixed if possible.

Lightweight, doesn't slow my browser down and generally works well. If it supported blocking videos by categories and tags, it would easily be a 5 star add-on. Even in its current form, it's still pretty good.

I deeply appreciate this extension. I use it regularly and it's been a fantastic addition. My only gripe is I can not find the list of blocked things. It would be great if I can look over them and unblock something if I blocked it on accident. (Which occurs periodically when I'm trying add a vid to my playlist.) Please consider or make clearer instructions on how to do so.

Works perfectly as of feb 28th 2026. Thank you so much for making this addon
