@Riddle1001 No worries! Agreed, having options that take in text input would neat.
What was your idea for whitelisting tags? if you don't mind elaborating
@lawrencehook I would like to be able to see videos, that have tags like programming, science, math
etc. It's possible to view the a video's tags by looking at it's response. view source this for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAoB4VbhRzM&ab_channel=Fireship
This does require making a request for every video, though, you can cache keywords of a url after requesting it once instead of having to re-request it every time you see the link. I think it would still be such a good feature for people (and me) that want to be on youtube still for some entertainment, but have that entertainment be biased (not time wasting and learn something) with special tags :). Will also be less tempting/impossible to click on a "unproductive" video.
I don't think any other youtube blocker extension has this and i'm surprised it isn't it any yet!
requires more work than I thought, sorry! the core does not seem to be built around allowing multiple UI elements (like checkbox and text input), would be a good idea though!
