User reviews

A fantastic and vital add-on which has everything you want from a YT content blocker. I tried a number of blockers before, and this one is the best I have tried yet. It has one feature that I've never seen before: it shows you on the page that it blocked something, and why it blocked it. You can turn this "overlay" feature on or off, which I really appreciate. I am very grateful for the person who developed this tool. If you are reading this, thank you!

Fantastic, and practically necessary to wade through modern Youtube. Although, you will have to tweak it in options to get the most out of it. Most people should open the options, and go to the "Overlays" tab and uncheck "Show Overlays". You may also want to go to "Channel", and check off "Add block button next to channel names" for an easy way to block things.

It works, but it sure slows YouTube search results down as it processes.
