BlockTube is a WebExtension for Chrome and Firefox that filters and blocks unwanted YouTube content such as videos, channels, and comments using titles, IDs, keywords, or regex. Filtering happens before DOM rendering, so blocked content never appears on the site.

Use cases

• block specific youtube videos or channels
• hide comments from certain users on youtube
• filter youtube content by keyword or regex
• remove trending section from youtube
• block youtube videos on mobile firefox
• password-protect my content filter settings

When to choose

• you want fine-grained control over which YouTube videos, channels, or comments you see
• you need regex or keyword-based filtering that works before page render
• you want a lightweight extension that doesn't break playlists or autoplay

When to avoid

• you need general ad blocking across all websites rather than YouTube-specific filtering
• you require tamper-proof filtering that cannot be bypassed by disabling the extension
• you need cloud sync or enterprise policy management for filter rules
