by RedPanda, 9 years agoThis addon went from a one right-click-left-click-and-forget on any channel link displayed on the web page to some "Go into the addon pannel through its icon somewhere in the browser and then type in the name of the channel you want and save it each time you want to blacklist a channel" thingy.
Why ? It was just so easy before, doing just what it was intended to, with convenience. Convenience, this is the key word. There are so, so many channels to blacklist on YouTube and we can say that most of us, if not all, just don't want to type in channels names into some setback sub-menu's box for each one.
Also this update brings its own blacklisting system onto the table, simply deleting what was already there, so we're left to start all over, blacklisting all the channels we already hid before.
Would have been a 5/5 since it was filling its task just right (with minor annoyances such as being unable to blacklist from some specific pages types like user profile I think), now it's just annoying. It can block channels, but having to go through such chores to do so on top of having the blacklist reset is a no-no.

Developer response
posted 9 years agoHi! I'm sorry the last update has caused some trouble, I have put a small explanation in the add-on description.
The right click functionality has been improved in version 5.2.4 (although still not as smooth as in the Chrome version, as it is only just supported by Firefox).
Regarding the reset of the list: If you have an export of the list, you can import it again in version 5.2.4. If not, you can downgrade to version 2.0.1, to make an export first.
