User reviews
A very, very useful addon. Especially after his colleague Bloktube stopped working. Now YTBlock is the only protection for my children from tons of video garbage. There are problems - for example, YouTube search results are not completely cleaned by keywords. And some channels cannot be blocked by keywords, despite their name being directly indicated in the keywords. But all the same - a huge thank you to the author, his work is extremely useful.
