About BlockTube
BlockTube is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that hides unwanted content on YouTube. You can block videos by title, channel name, channel ID or video ID, block whole channels, and filter comments by user or by what they say.
Blocked videos disappear everywhere on the site, and you can add blocks from the context menu while browsing. It also works on m.youtube.com in Firefox for Android and Kiwi Browser. It suits anyone who wants to keep certain topics or channels out of their recommendations.
