About this extension
This addon provides video blocking functionality for YouTube.

Currently it works on Home, Subscriptions, Search pages and the Recommendations section.

You can block videos by their title, as well as block specific videos directly.

Addon can either leave a placeholder in place of a blocked video, or remove it completely, this is configurable in the Settings menu.

To block a specific video, simply right click on either video itself or its title, and select "Block Video".

To block by title, enter parts of the title / keywords that the addon will search for in the Settings menu.

Video blocking can be paused in the popup menu opened by clicking the toolbar addon icon. Settings menu is also accessed from there.

Additional options
  • Remove Shorts - will remove all shorts from the same pages where video blocking is active. Removes them entirely, no placeholders. Will also redirect away from Shorts feeds back to regular Subscriptions.

Plans / not yet implemented
  • Extend the blocking to all pages
  • Add a function to block channels
  • Add regex rules functionality
  • Add a function to clean search results from irrelevant bullshit that Google puts there

Limitations
  • YT layout updates can and likely will break the addon's functionality, so if Google decides to update their YouTube UI again, the addon would need to be updated to work.
