The Blocklist button doesn't work for me, let me edit manually (plus import/export)
No need for too much explanation, it's an amazing feature, the one i use the most but the button almost never works, anything that youtube updates then it stop working, but at least it's blocking things just fine for me (yet).
My 2 cents to keep it working a little bit more? Make it field so i can manage it with a .txt file or something, import/export and stuff so i can manually put everything there to blocklist.
I rewrote and fixed up blocklist https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/pull/2098 https://github.com/raszpl/YouTube-Extension/tree/BLOCKLIST in theory its ready to be merged, I just didnt get around to testing it too extensively.
No native support available, but this is how example (blocked content is some of my favorite, its just for a test) data looks like:
JSON.stringify(ImprovedTube.storage.blocklist)
{"channels":{"mustie1":{"preview":"https://yt3.googleusercontent.com/ytc/AIdro_lvexMnv3YQ3w6GC5tAJgH3rougPNODCB7BLMwTc99UWA=s900-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","title":"Mustie1"}},"videos":{"AEm-2giH_zw":{"title":"Flash photography used to be pretty wild"},"DTsQjiPlksA":{"title":"Old HVAC industry practices are holding us back and costing us money.

block button no longer appears anywhere onsite after this.

Latest version of Brave (1.75.178), "Add to Blocklist" button is not visible (next to the Subscribe button) on a channel home page. The other button on hovering a specific video thumbnail does show up and it works. But ideally it would be more efficient to block those crap channels outright instead of one video at a time. Thanks for your awesome work!
