BlockTube FAQ

How do I choose between a channel name and a channel ID?
Channel names are not unique and can change. A channel ID is unique and stays the same, so use the ID to block one specific channel. Use a channel name to block multiple channels with similar names.
What happens when I open a blocked channel?
BlockTube redirects you to the YouTube homepage.
What happens when I open a blocked video?
You can choose to block the entire page with a custom message or automatically redirect to the next video.
