[Feature Request] Block by description

[neohunter]

I want to block all videos related to Roblox, but most of them don't have roblox in the title, add an option to block by video description.

Hey, I'd love to have that too, so for now I wrote a greaemonkey script that does that.

https://github.com/dragitz/greasemonkey-scripts/blob/main/YT%20Description%20search%20filter-out.js

The problem is that, the desctiption gets cut after a certain amount of characters, so not everything can get filtered out.

If you want to add "Roblox" as a filter, you can add this in the infiniteLoop function:

deleteYtFormattedString(/(?=.*Roblox)/i); // case-insensitive

Hope it helps!

Note for amitbl: you can use my code !

I've made a list of personal regex patterns that might help people, I wish I could share it in the wiki

Really love your filters :P

Seems like the idea of adding descripto to filters was already considered, check this: https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube/blob/bf3d4e20df04e12b230f4807817e331f0a0b965f/src/scripts/inject.js#L151

The extensions already has the Advanced blocking that uses JS to do blocking. I think we can use the

document.getElementsByClassName("metadata-snippet-text style-scope ytd-video-renderer");

on that function to try to filter by description. I don't have the time to test this in the next days, but maybe you can take a look, the other alternative would be give the video variable in inject.js the content of the description.

I do not mean the related videos, but the main video in the page.
