Block in-place
Use YouTube's own 3-dots menus to block or unblock channels without leaving the page.

What it does
YouTube Control adds practical controls directly into YouTube: block/unblock channels from 3-dots menus, lock or remove blocked content, and hide Shorts or Posts shelves.
Early development notice: this extension is still in early development. Feedback is very helpful, but a full-feature stable version will take time. It is safe to test: it only changes what you see on YouTube inside your browser page and does not change your account, password, payments, or browser files.
