Initial diagnostic version of channel blocker script

[theosavv]

So what has been done basically is I created the file channel-blocker.js . What this file does is statically set allowed channels ( eg i have in the file const allowedChannels = ["/@pantelisstavroulakis5456"]; ) . When we run, we can see on the main feed videos only of the allowed channels.
From here many things have to be done for this feature to realistically work.

• Remove Short sections and other slots if there are none of the allowed channels ( because right now those sections are shown anyway but empty)
• Ensure that the block mode follows the user everywhere while navigating on Youtube.
• Fetching channels from the user's subscription list
• Necessary UI element to enable the 'block mode'
• UI Filter enabling the user to select specific channels from the subscription list to only show them.

Hello and thanks for the feedback! What I had in mind when looking at the issue was something slightly different. Like an isolation mode where the user should only be exposed to content of preference ( makes sense that this content should be subscribed only channels or a selection of those channels) helping with distractions as @Vitthal-Goyal mentioned. I understand the concept of content filtering, but to me they seem two different features for different circumstances. What are your thoughts on this???, I d love to hear!

@theosavv Thankyou. Yes that is exactly what I had in mind

Blocking particular channels (feature already present) and Whitelisting only some (request) are two different things, #1451 is not at all relevent to the request @ImprovedTube

hi and thank you again! @theosavv @firetdev @Vitthal-Goyal our features are not enabled by default. to merge this, it needs a toggle to enable or disable in our menu files

Hi again!! Of course i ll work on it and keep you informed in the next days!

Ouff guys, its been a crazy day, but i added a toggle button and also a list with user's subscriptions so that he is able to allow specific channels, the content of which may only appear on the home screen. I hope you like it. I ll also provide a screenshot and anyone interested can review the changes, it would be greatly appreciated !
