I'm still using YouTube's old layout desgin, can I use this extension?
No. Please switch to the new desgin here
What is the difference between "Channel ID" and "Channel Name"
Channel names on YouTube are not unique and can be duplicated/changed
whereas Channel ID is a unique identification string that never changes.
If you want to block a specific single channel the preferred method is using it's ID,
If you want to block multiple channels sharing similar name use it's name.
How can I get a channel's ID?
Channel ID looks like this: UCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
To get it, simply browse to a channel page and look at the URL /channel/UCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If the URL is /user/BadChannelExample use This site to convert the username to the channel ID
How to block comments from specific user?
Blocked channels comments are removed as well, so just add the user's name/channel ID to your filters
What is the behaviour when browsing blocked channel?
User will be redirected to YouTube homepage.
What is the behaviour when browsing blocked video?
You can choose between two options:
- Block the entire page and leave a custom message
- Auto redirect user to the next video
How can I ensure this extension cannot be bypassed?
