Bible Thumper (ID: 000000381d181513) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/21/2024 it was good when it worked but its not working anymore (the x doesnt show up next to channels or comments). It happened before i updated chrome and persisted after updating. when i manually try to add a user to the list and refresh it doesnt do anything either. April 2024: developers gave up on this one, all the accounts i blocked in the past are unblocked despite their names still being on the list on the extension.
