Discover a New Way of Watching with BlockTube: A Top Chrome Extension for Tailored Video Experience

This addon is essential for any medium to heavy YouTube users regardless of subscription status. There are SO MANY garbage channels, many of them are AI Generated content and voice these days. Being able to quickly block the entire channel is so nice. YouTube will likely never add this functionality so relying on tools like this one is our only option!

Seems to work for blocking videos and channels but is lacking UI to manage what has been blocked. The option is actually there but is not easy to find. Once you blocked a channel or a video you'll find it in the managing interface which comes in the form of a text with comment and the ID of the channel or the video. The comment will help you track what's what as it will have the channel or video name and the date in which was blocked, but you will ba unable to search by channel name or video, search by date and similar since isn't using a database of any kind that could then be queried and worked with to display entries in a manageable UI, it just uses a text file which might be ok when one has blocked a few channels or videos, but in time the text will become very messy and inefficient to work with when needing to find something or even if verify if something was blocked or not. I'll take it over nothing but needs improvements to turn it into a tool usable for more than a small number of blocked entries.

does not block channels.

Blocks ALL Youtube shorts FROM FRICKIN' SHOWING UP in your search results (since Google is lame and STILL hasn't made this a "filter" option). It's 2025 and Google can't make this a daum filter option. Just check the little box inside BlockTube's settings ("Block Youtube Shorts videos") to disable or enable them from showing up. May 24th 2025 works 100%!!!!! Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much to whoever made this extension...

Okay but.. I like to block from the side menu where the three dots doesn't show Block the submenu. 'Channel blocker' has an X that you can click and more quickly block channels. But they don't seem to update often. Thanks!

The problem with this extension is that YouTube thinks it is an ad blocker so you won't be able to watch any videos unless you disable it.

Why some people hate it. This is the best extension for its purpose. Thank you, developers, for helping avoid distractions and save people's lives!

Quite good extrension for those who do want to make movies and shorts un attractive from youtube in his/her life. And try to devote their time in productive things. I found its all mentioned featurs wroking properly.

Doesn't work for shorts in search results

Works perfectly. Write Jordan Peterson, to block him. Say goodbye to haters. It would be great to have lists of haters and people trying to use hate speech to gain clicks and sell books. Let's get serious and base society in love ✝️

Nice & working. Started blocking brainwashing channels.

work as intended, can block all shorts as well, but can not block channels in short form, only normal videos will be filtered blocked.

best extension

its a life saver!

Love it.It also works perfectly on microsoft edge. thanks. indebted

Advanced blocking doesnt work

Works fine on Brave, nice extension to filter out nonsense videos

unfortunately does not work :((

works as it should but when I have any settings enabled it causes videos in my recommended to repeat over and over, not worth it

Doesn't currently work but when it does and this is not by design of BlockTube but because Youtube just messes things up for third party apps. BlockTube is incredibly good so I can block content creators that are just toxic and the same with all the AI-generated garbage that algorithm is spamming.

does'nt work .it was okay yesterday.today it's working fine in chrome but not in incognito

No longer works

I've always wanted to get rid of annoying YouTubers I don't like in suggestions.

No longer works, it used to block channels but now they started showing up again.

The channel blocking feature is great. I have only one issue with it, there is no search function. If you have a large block list and encounter a mistaken block, you have to manual go back through to find it. This is a glaring missing feature.

What's the point of needing a password? I need to put a password to block me from accessing the extension

Would love to use it, but it triggers adblock protection on my system (using uBlock and Adguard Extra Userscript).

Finally a way to stop seeing those horrific clickbaity thumbnails from disgusting channels

For anyone wondering how to unblock videos or channels, just go to the options and click on the "Video ID" or "Channel ID" section in filters and you will see all the videos and channels you have blocked, to unblock them just delete that ID, save and you're good to go.

This extension will soon no longer be supported. An alternative is Youtube Master. It can block channels, hide comments, hide related videos, etc.
