Saves my sanity on YouTube by letting me block the trash that spills into my recommended videos.

When attempting to watch a video on a channel you've blocked previously, instead of saying the video is blocked, you're met with a blank screen and the video is blacked out. Leaving you wondering why youtube isn't working. Meanwhile, on chrome, it shows that the video/channel is blocked.
This needs to be fixed, you wasted a lot of my time.

(Version 0.4.5, w/ FF134.0.1) WORKING FINE since released.
It is a MUST add-on for FF browsing YouTube.
Thanks to developer for all the hard work.
Moreover, is it possible to add a custom feature for the context menu as I only use the "Block Channel" and would like to HIDE the "Block Video" key.
