Blocking Support for m.youtube.com #352

Closed ryanbarillos closed 4 months ago

Issue and/or Suggestion Allow BlockTube extension to work with https://m.youtube.com

Explain I run Kiwi Browser on my Android devices (here on GitHub or Play Store) that enables installation of Chrome Web Store extenions (unlike other Chromium-based browsers), and I'd like to use BlockTube there. Unfortunately, while my blocking rules work on the desktop, they don't work on my mobile devies, and I'd like BlockTube to work with that.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Kiwi Browser
  2. Install BlockTube
  3. Add rules in the extension
  4. Visit youtube.com (it should redirect to m.youtube.com)
  5. Search for blocked keywords, and you'll still see those

Have You Tried Any Workarounds?

  1. I can toggle Desktop site on to load the YouTube desktop side, however it has two side effects
  1. I can try other extensions that achieves the same goal, however side effects

Conclusion Great browser extension for filtering YouTube content (I can see this being use in an enterprise setting), however adding support for m.youtube.com will be a great addition to this fine extension. Thanks

I agree, if blocktube was able to do this it would be a great quality of life improvement. Maybe m.youtube is difficult to deal with and that's why it hasn't been done or it's seen as a low priority.

Version 0.4.0 has experimental support for m.youtube.com (should work on Firefox for Android and Kiwi browser)

I appreciate your efforts. I'll give it a go and share my experiences with it.

So far, it's working really well! Channels of certain titles and ID's are being blocked so far. Thanks for your efforts :)
