🐞 Blocked channels / videos not really hidden

Leseratte10 commented 1 month ago

Concise Description

I can add a video or a channel to the block list just fine by clicking the "block" icon on the thumbnail or the "Add to blocklist" button on a channel's page.

However, this only marks the channel's videos greyed-out on the search page and displays them smaller than other videos.

This first makes it so that the listed videos jump around all the time when I hover over a "blocked" video (because that resizes it to its full size), and it also makes it so that I still have to see blocked channels / videos.

I have looked around the extension's settings, but haven't found a way to actually make the blocklist work properly.

Is there a way to configure the blocklist so that channels and videos on the blocklist are actually completely fully hidden from everywhere as if they didn't exist?

I searched around through other issues but most issues I found regarding the blocklist are issues that prevent people from adding videos or channels to the blocklist, but none about the behaviour of the blocklist itself.

Browser/s

Firefox 128.0 on Ubuntu

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?

Add a channel or video to the blocklist, then try to search for the video or check the channel's "videos" page. It still shows up, just greyed out.

Since when?

Unsure, just installed this extension today.

Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?

Yes

Are any errors or related log-messages shown in the Browser-Console? (F12)

No

Expected preferred behavior:

Blocked videos and channels don't show up at all.

hi and thanks! @Leseratte10

[ ] blocklist sub-option to hide blocked items completely.
[ ] for the reduced appearance, the height shouldn't change on hover immediately, only the opacity. Height should be an animation taking enough time / delay to appear, like the thumbnail. Originally wrote this for related video and previously it worked well. Maybe later it was tried to shorten that.

Leseratte10 commented 1 month ago

I just checked again, the height is changing immediately and the opacity as well, so just by scrolling, all the other videos are jumping around. There's no animation.

See https://youtu.be/m8mxeff4E_E (1st and 3rd video in the search results are on the blacklist).

But even if there was an animation; I'm hoping an option to fully hide blocked videos and channels will be added.

yes,

[ ] blocklist sub-option to hide blocked items completely.

( Animation is just t in the related videos sidebar on video player pages.) Expecting the convenient / best ( equilibrium / default fit for most people), to make it somewhat accessible / visible, which could at least be just a tiny area / icon like with very few pixels in height.) (Running such project it doesn't seem to be the most important task to do one wish at a time, like 1on1 customer service, when we can also prepare & bundle work.)
