Review Summary
YTBlock is a powerful and customizable YouTube content blocker praised for its extensive blocking options and effectiveness against unwanted content. However, users frequently report significant performance issues, inconsistent blocking behavior, and occasional UI problems such as missing block controls. Language blocking sometimes overblocks content, and the absence of syncing features makes managing blocklists across devices inconvenient. Despite these drawbacks, many users still consider it superior to alternatives for controlling their YouTube feed.
Pros
- Effectively blocks unwanted YouTube content including channels, users, comments, and videos by keywords or categories.
- Highly customizable with options like language blocking, regex support, and category filtering.
- Provides blocking features not natively available on YouTube, allowing users significant control over feed content.
- Works well in removing or hiding disturbing, annoying, or spoiler content.
- Many users found it better than alternatives and appreciated its extensive blocking capabilities.
Cons
- Performance issues causing high CPU usage and browser lag, especially during infinite scrolling or with large blocklists.
- Sometimes fails to block certain videos or channels consistently, including blocked content still appearing in search results and recommendations.
- Controls such as the block button or blocking functionality stop appearing or working over time.
- Language blocking can sometimes overblock (e.g., blocking Russian also blocks Ukrainian).
- Lack of sync for blocklists/settings across devices leads to user inconvenience.
