悪趣味な風 (ID: 000000bf43b86649) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/22/2024 最近機能しなくなった某アドオンと違ってどの場面でもきれいに消せているのが良いですね。 追記>2週間くらい前?から「プレイリスト」表示がプレイリスト表示OFFを選択した状態でもキーワード指定しても消えない不具合が出ているようですね…直してもらうのに期待して待ってます。

Sarah Mellinger (ID: 0000000244a366b9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/03/2023 worked well did it's job until when you tried to block users it popped up with "you can not block this user" likely a youtube dependency that should be remedied.

Анастасия Губаренко (ID: 000000191bb086d7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/29/2023 thank you SO much for making this extension! it's exactly what i've been looking for! and the fact that regex is used here makes it so much easier to configure the filters (my first language has a complex word inflection system). now i don't have to worry about being triggered by disturbing thumbnails :)

sodaguy (ID: 000000eb22674ffe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 yes now i can block some bad channel and forgot it

Antilazuli (ID: 00000046bc6af79b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/11/2023 Somehow when a Video is blocked on youtube, it leaves a blank space/ a hole on the canvas where the video was, I tried so fix it via a Tampermonkey script but it doesn't work that well... Could you fix it so that the hidden Videos on the Canvas are removed so that there are no holes?
