Rapotato (ID: 0000001067c46c3f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 Ive tried a few whitelisting extentions and this one is the only one that works, and it works great. Very simple. Great product. Asian power!

Will Coleda (ID: 000000843ad2d6a0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Extension doesn't work: on first install I could see the block button on a channel's page, but clicking on it did nothing. disabled and re-enabled and now the button doesn't appear (but the cursor changes when you mouse over that location). Checking the console, it's in a tight loop printing out the channel name. Running on chrome latest on a mac m2.

Jaswanth Sai (Y0nk0u) (ID: 00000067aa6b44bd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Really the greatest extension I ever found, but there is a small issue, I cannot see any YouTube video on the channel page, which is in the whitelist. I mean, If I open up the channel home page to watch videos from it, no videos are displayed, even though it's in the whitelist. I really require this video as I access my YouTube channels for educational content and the lectures are not sorted out in YouTube home or search. Thank you so much for making a great extension! And I hope this gets fixed. Cheers!
