[Feature Request] Support for blocking content on the youtube.com/tv interface? #380

Were there any plans to make the features for blocktube work with the youtube.com/tv interface?

I just tested this out real quick and it doesn't seem to support it.

My use case involves setting up an STB that runs Android TV and then accessing youtube.com/tv through Firefox (Fennec) from the F-Droid Store. To access this interface, editing the user-agent is required to not be redirected to normal youtube.com interface. At this point I can confirm the blocking ads works with certain ad blockers, but blocking content via keywords doesn't.

Can anyone else confirm if this is the case for them as well?

I noticed that the scripts in the src folder takes into account the difference between the desktop and mobile interface.

is there a simple way to implement this for the TV interface as well?
