Our Add-on enables the function of blocking anything you'd like. Block separate videos, users or whole channels with only one click! Naturally, the add-on supports regular expressions to ensure you the best customisation possible. And another thing: WE DO NOT COLLECT ANY USER INFORMATION AT ALL.

Store unlimited amount of client-side data:

  • needed for blocking an unlimited number of users/channels
