About blockchannel.one

A regular YouTube account has no button that blocks a channel for good. We made a small browser extension that does that job, plus keyword and Shorts filters.

Why it exists

YouTube lets you send feedback with "Don't recommend channel", and the channel then turns up less often in your recommendations. YouTube does not promise to stop showing it, its videos can still come up in search, and there is no list where you can see what you have hidden. Parents of supervised kid accounts can block a channel, but an ordinary account has no such option.

Block YouTube Channels handles this in your browser. It looks at the cards YouTube shows and hides the ones that match your rules. Your blocked channels and keywords form a plain list that you can read, edit, export or delete at any time.

How we build it

Straight about limits

Every page says where the extension works and where it does not. It runs in desktop browsers on youtube.com and cannot reach the YouTube apps on phones, tablets or TVs.

Nothing to sign up for

You need no account to use it, and the extension has no analytics. Your lists live in your browser, and we never see them.

Three jobs

It blocks channels, filters keywords and hides Shorts. A PIN lock and import and export are there to make those easier to manage.

Free

It costs nothing. If we ever add a paid feature, the free features stay free and we publish the rules first.

What it is not

  • YouTube and Google did not make it, and they do not endorse it or work with us.
  • It does not touch ads, so it will not work as an ad blocker.
  • Parental control is outside its scope: anyone determined enough can switch an extension off. The PIN only guards the settings against casual changes.

Who runs it

Captain Software Limited, a small software company that builds browser tools, runs blockchannel.one from Unit B, 11/F, 23 Thomson Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong SAR China. Send questions, bug reports and ideas to info@blockchannel.one, or see the contact page.
