BlockTube is no longer working #490

We have a Windows 11 Laptop. BlockTube is currently in place as a Chrome Extension. When selecting a YouTube Channel to block the BlockTube extion sometimes will give the options to "BlockVideo" or Blockchannel." The times it does give the option we will select "BlockVideo" and it will not work.

I started having similar issues today, using it in the Chromium-based Vivaldi. From what I can tell, it's only the context menu that is broken. Blocking videos/channels manually via the config menu, using Channel Name, Channel ID, video ID, etc. still works. Also one odd behavior I noticed is that blocking via the context menu still seems to work when using Vivaldi in Private mode. Not sure why that would be the case but that was my experience.

Edit: something I forgot to mention earlier- I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension as well as restarting the browser multiple times. Didn't know if this had any chance of fixing it, but it didn't resolve the issue for me at least.
