The block menu in YouTube became not work but it is still working.
Im confirming block by channel ID or video ID.
This working of the block is that when you try to access the video, a black screen appears, and when you try to access the channel, you will be redirected to YouTube Home.
Without this extension, would looks many poor content in YouTube.
Now Version 0.4.5, The block menu in YouTube became work again!
Thanks.
