This did absolutely not a single thing, Youtube's search still hallucinates.

Wow what a waste of time. Does almost the complete, literal OPPOSITE of what the creator claims. I can watch in real time as it deletes every single result relevant to my search (too fast for me to click on what I wanted) and leaves nothing but ads and the specific distractions that I set it to block. The only functionalities that work as advertized are hiding Shorts in search results and converting Shorts to normal videos. I'm guessing YouTube recently changed something to sabotage it. Almost completely useless until the creator fixes it.

Hiding mixes also hides playlists

Worked great up till now, everything i could ask for, but recently more and more ads/watched vids/etc have been slipping through. Not sure if its a recent YT update or an update to the extension but something has broken the blocker.

Very good plugin, but the Youtube Mix blocker/hider stopped working, both on Firefox and Chrome alike.
