Blocks unsafe/stupid/non-sense videos for kids on https://youtube.com.

Need?

As a father I have seen an upsurge in videos that are too shitty to be watched by kids, for example:

  • I was adopted by billionaire family
  • Epic hacks to become popular at school
  • Rich vs Poor vs Giga Rich princess
  • Hot vs cold prison challenge

These shitty videos should ideally not even exist. However, I am now fed-up blocking vidoes:

  • All blocking extensions require to configure setup on same machine
  • Youtube "report" option will just remove it from recommendations
  • These child abusers upload these videos from tens/hundreds of different channel names

Thus, the need for this extension was born. This extension reads a list of all users/videos/channels to be blocked via a hosted URL. This way I can keep adding to list of blocked videos without the need to configure my kids device everytime.

Why can't I block youtube?

Simple two reasons:

  • Chrome does not follow hosts file blocking on youtube.com
  • youtube.com is required to Google sign-in
  • Teachers at school use learning material from https://youtube.com
