Helps a lot with productivity. Thank you!

Works well with hiding what you don't want to see. However, it also hides other things that you actually want to. Currently, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I did not include it in the things to hide whatsover. Even when I temporarily disable the settings, I'm unable to view my playlists and my clips even though I can see blocked channels.

Oh my gosh. You just don't know. You have saved my life. I'm the mom of a special needs adult, aggressive male who has OCD....really BAD OCD and Autism. When he can't get what he wants, he will play these video clips that are using very foul language and will play them over and over again, just to push my buttons! I couldn't stop it! Its been going on for years and driving this Christian mom of 70, out of her mind. So thank you. This extension is working. There should now be peace in this household. I can live out my years without fighting with him. If his behavior didn't stop, I was gonna have to put him in a group home. I don't WANT to, but the way it was going, he was gonna send ME to the hospital! Then what! Its just him and I. But I digress....
