Using Chrome, how to restrict a YouTube channel

We will learn how to restrict particular YouTube channels or videos in this guide so that you won’t be able to see them on your computer alone.

Let’s quickly go through why you should ban YouTube channels before we go into the lesson on how to do it in Chrome and Firefox.

Why you should restrict some YouTube channels or videos

We have outlined a few of the numerous reasons why you would wish to restrict a YouTube channel or video.

Want to censor stuff for your children on the family computer?

• stuff that is offensive or unacceptable
• Click-baiting or deceptive material
• Personal: Disagreement with specific subjects

These may be the causes that lead to channel blockage. Let’s quickly explain what YouTube Restricted Mode and the Don’t suggest You Tube Channels option on YouTube are and why you should use them before we start the training.

What exactly does YouTube’s Restricted Mode entail?

With the use of the YouTube Restricted Mode tool, users may exclude material that has been tagged as offensive to viewers. Users who want to avoid graphic or adult-themed content can enable this mode to give a safer and more family-friendly experience.

Certain videos might not show up in search results when the Restricted Mode is on, and comments might also be blocked. While utilizing this mode, some channels can also become unreachable. YouTube claims that the limited mode is not completely accurate and that certain videos may still get past the filter. It does, however, provide further security against adult content.

With YouTube’s Restricted Mode, parents can keep age-appropriate content online for their kids thanks to this feature.

After learning more about YouTube Restricted Mode, let’s move on to the instructions for turning it on in both Android and a PC.

Activate the YouTube censored mode.

Step 1: Launch Chrome or another web browser and go to the YouTube website.

Step 2: If you haven’t already, check in to your account now, and then click the profile photo.

Step 3: Locate and select Restricted Mode from the menu that appears.

Toggle the restricted mode option now and YouTube’s limited mode will be enabled.

How to prevent YouTube channels from playing in Microsoft Edge and Firefox

You may ban channels on YouTube in Firefox if you access or view YouTube using another browser, such as Chrome. Firefox and Chrome both follow the same process. The Blocktube extension must be downloaded and set up.

YouTube channel blocking Microsoft Edge is based on the Chromium open-source project, just as Chrome. Because of this, both browsers share common essential features including performance enhancements, security upgrades, and support for web standards.

Therefore, installing and using extensions in Google Chrome is likewise possible in Microsoft Edge. Installing the BlockTube addon will allow us to block channels on YouTube.
