Youtube Categories Extension

Google removed the YouTube categories from the description of videos. This extension allows you to easily see YouTube video categories again in place of the subscriber count of a channel. If you're just curious, or need to view these categories for web filtering, YouTube Categories will give you back the information you were missing.

If you're just curious, or need to view these categories for web filtering" I'm trying to completely hide videos from certain YouTube Categories, do you happen to have any suggestions to do this?
