This is the finest distracting youtube channel blocker extension I've tried yet ,and I will never leave it . I have whitelisted only 2 educational channels on youtube , and hence all others channels are blocked . Its so benefiting !!! I loved it :)

This extension has great potential with some improvements. It is it has a simple functionality but that's exactly what I need, for example other, more popular extensions seem to lack whitelisting which this one has.
Few notes:
- It doesn't work on the youtube mobile site. Thus you can easily bypass the extension just by navigating to http://m.youtube.com/?persist_app=1&app=m even if you're on desktop. And of course it doesn't work at all in a mobile browser which otherwise can run the extension. Suggestion: make the extension compatible with the mobile site as well.
- It was a bit confusing to me what the "channel name" meant that you can enter manually to black/whitelist a channel. It is the actual text name of the channel not the ID in the URL. I would suggest clarifying that in your help text with an example.
- It would be nice to be able to add channel ids manually, not just with the button on the channel page. This is because the button doesn't work in the Kiwi browser (in itself that's not a big deal, that's a niche case).
