How to block YouTube channels on Chrome
Neither Chrome nor YouTube has a block button for channels. In Chrome the fix is an extension: install FeedCut from the Chrome Web Store, press Block channel on any video, and that channel disappears from Home, search, Up next and the comments. The whole setup takes about a minute.
Coming soon to Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera · Free · No account
This is what it looks like in Chrome: press Block channel on a video, then switch tabs.

Install and pin FeedCut
Open the Chrome Web Store page
Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension in the box Chrome shows. It asks for two permissions: storage for your lists, and access to youtube.com.
Pin it to the toolbar
Click the puzzle-piece icon to the right of the address bar and press the pin next to FeedCut. The panel is now one click away.
Open YouTube
Shorts are already hidden. Everything else is up to you.
Block a channel
Hover any video on Home, in search or in Up next, and press Block channel in the corner of the thumbnail. On a channel page the button sits next to the channel name, and every comment has one too. If you prefer menus, the ⋮ menu on a video has the same option.
The channel leaves every page at once. An Undo message gives you a few seconds to change your mind, and the full list lives in the panel, with an Unblock button next to each name.
Chrome settings worth a look
- Incognito. Chrome turns extensions off in Incognito windows. To keep YouTube clean there too, open
chrome://extensions, click Details under FeedCut and switch on Allow in Incognito. - Profiles. Each Chrome profile has its own extensions. If your kid uses a separate profile, install FeedCut there and set a PIN.
- Sync. With Chrome sync on, the extension and your lists follow you to other computers signed in to the same profile.
Other Chromium browsers
Brave, Vivaldi and Opera are built on the same engine as Chrome and accept Chrome Web Store extensions, so the steps above work in them almost word for word. Microsoft Edge has its own store, Edge Add-ons, and FeedCut is there as well; see blocking channels on Edge.
Without an extension?
Chrome can block whole sites, for a supervised child through Family Link or on a work computer through company policy, but that takes all of youtube.com with it. YouTube’s own “Don’t recommend channel” only tunes recommendations and leaves the channel in search. For one channel, an extension is the only precise option on a computer.
Questions
Does it work on a Chromebook?
Yes. A Chromebook runs the same Chrome, so FeedCut installs from the Chrome Web Store and works on youtube.com the same way.
Do my blocked channels follow me to my other computers?
If Chrome sync is on, Chrome installs FeedCut on your other computers and carries your lists along. That sync is run by Google; FeedCut has no server of its own.
Does it work in Brave or Vivaldi?
They’re built on Chromium and install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, so FeedCut works there too.
Will it slow Chrome down?
It runs only on youtube.com, and only to filter what YouTube already sends. Other sites never load it.
