    Buttons to big: customizable would be awesome. Also, when there are more or long channel names, the button isn't there anymore. It would be great to have the option under the three dots menu.

    Seems to work but would love to have the feature also in the search results. I want to weed out Indian spam channels instantly.

    Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you find the extension useful! YouTube Movies & TV is unfortunately a special case. Unlike normal channels, it isn’t treated as a standard channel in YouTube’s markup and doesn’t always expose a consistent channel ID or handle that extensions can reliably block. Because of that limitation, the extension can’t currently hide it in all places. That said, I agree it should be blockable, and I’m actively looking into workarounds. If YouTube exposes a more consistent identifier, or I find a reliable solution, I’ll definitely add support for it in a future update. Thanks again for the suggestion!

    Thanks for the feedback! I built the extension to stay speedy, which is why it currently sticks to channel-blocking instead of trying to guess every gloomy corner of YouTube. But yes—keyword and content-type blocking (news, politics, gossip, drama, fearmongering… the whole emotional buffet) is definitely on my roadmap. And honestly, I’d love a “ban all negativity” switch too. My own feed could use a little less “world is ending” and a little more “cat befriends toaster.” 🐱🔥🍞 I’ll try to push the next update before Christmas, so stay tuned! 🎄 Appreciate you giving it a try and helping me steer the ship! 🚀
