Quicker way to block comments than Rightclick?

[Ezelmannen]

As said before, I love the idea of this Add-on, but it is a bit cumbersome to use when you want to block a lot of commenters. Is there a possibility for you to add a quicker way to block commenters? Perhaps by adding a Red X after the usersname one can click in the render of the page. Or maybe holding ctrl+leftclick on a username blocks it?

I created a version 0.6 that inserts a little trash can button next to each commenter name. Only tested lightly, but seems to work. Let me know if you discover any glitches.

Thanks for updating so quickly! But unfortunately it didn't work over here. :-/

I've updated the Add-on, Stopped all other Add-ons, Restarted Firefox, and end up with this: It seems like it inserts a lot of buttons, but no icon perhaps?

I did a "show selection source" of the affected parts. I hope that can help troubleshoot it:

        <a id="author-text" class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-comment-renderer" href="/channel/UCvAKSZj_4veP6V--pSoP61A">

        <span id="moderation-reason-text" class="style-scope ytd-comment-renderer" hidden="">

        </span>
      </div>```

The details of the button template are defined here:

For some reason, that is getting skipped or failing on yours, but I couldn't tell you why, It's probably easier for me to move lines 134-137 up to line 106.

Could you test unchecking and re-checking the box on the Options tab for the extension to see whether that helps at all?

[jscher2000]

Okay, hopefully version 0.6.1 has fixed it.

Now it works. Great! Though, I've noticed the Trashcan renders on the left side of the Username sometimes and there is a check mark on the right side. It seems to be rare though, only seen it twice on the video I scrolled through now: Still, it seems to work. :-)

[jscher2000]

I noticed left side when the channel name shows instead of the author name. Not sure if there are other times that it happens. I wonder what the checkmark means? (I hardly use YouTube in a browser, mostly in the mobile app.)

Edit: For Verified users, Google hides the first author name and shows a special tag. So I need to move the trash can in that case.
