Youtube and channels or networks

[FaCkun]

Hi!

I think that its SO crucial that the app allow you to discriminate between channels or networks, because the difference of ads between chanels is SO huge. And if its possible (it would be better), i really would like to block certains networks, because they are responsible for the variation amount of ads between channels

thanks for reading

I remember that the way AdBlock (Michael Gundlach's extension, from getadblock.com) implemented it was by reading the page source and then refreshing with a new URL parameter called &channel=channelName so that you could turn off ads on that channel with a whitelist rule like ||youtube.com^*channel=channelName; it was slow and jarring to see the page refresh every time you followed a YouTube link, but that hack is still the best way to whitelist by channel without going out of scope for an ABP-style extension.

This feature actually frustrated me, because it wasn't until I looked deeply into the console that I learned that what was causing YouTube pages to refresh was AdBlock, so I unchecked that feature; I won't blame Eyeo if it declines to implement this or a similar hack to whitelist by channel or network.
