Orlando Moreno (ID: 00000043967a8398) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 It doesn't work. Not on custom-added channels, but not even those in the built-in list.

Zahra Brown (ID: 0000008666891856) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/05/2022 It was great. Now it doesn't work anymore.

Edsknife (ID: 0000005f7106ddf5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/23/2022 I remember it working before, but it wasn't working today; searched "Ukraine" and all the results were mainstream. I've always slowly lost functions of the extensions I use; there has to be a better way. Could probably do it better without the Chrome Web Store. Might have better luck on Itch.

hippo potamus (ID: 0000006e2c1b0122) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/19/2022 Tried to add manual channels and it does NOT work. Why do you have local fox channels on the list but not the main fox news official checked marked channel?????? !!!! I manually add it and it STILL shows up, worthless not sure if Im going to keep this extension.
