BlockTube is no longer working

[SharonL21]

We have a Windows 11 Laptop. BlockTube is currently in place as a Chrome Extension. When selecting a YouTube Channel to block the BlockTube extion sometimes will give the options to "BlockVideo" or Blockchannel." The times it does give the option we will select "BlockVideo" and it will not work.

I started having similar issues today, using it in the Chromium-based Vivaldi. From what I can tell, it's only the context menu that is broken. Blocking videos/channels manually via the config menu, using Channel Name, Channel ID, video ID, etc. still works. Also one odd behavior I noticed is that blocking via the context menu still seems to work when using Vivaldi in Private mode. Not sure why that would be the case but that was my experience.

Edit: something I forgot to mention earlier- I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension as well as restarting the browser multiple times. Didn't know if this had any chance of fixing it, but it didn't resolve the issue for me at least.

No yeah it's also just the context menu that's broken for me. Manual blocking, and my pre-existing blocklist, still work.

Yes, same here: already blocked channels are still blocked but can't add new ones in the context menu. Firefox 128.5.0esr on Mac. Thanks for reviewing it.

I wish this addon wasn't so essential. Youtube is such a cesspool.

I'm encountering it also

Same here. Now I have to find the channel IDs and add them to the blocklist manually.

Can't stand Mixes and other crap in my feed. The addon hasn't completely been broken on my end but it does have me wondering where amitbl has gone to. I hope they are well.
