What about block content button (appears when hover over thumbnail or something similar)
by DaiterGd, 2025-02-25
I wanted to get rid of every video made after 2009 but the damn thing only lets me get rid of videos made a number of days ago, and that number doesn't go up by 1 every day. Meaning after 1 day of use, I have to manually add 1 to the counter every day for the rest of my life. I dont wanna do that. JUST GIMMIE AN EXTENSION THAT SHOWS ME VIDEOS WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE RANGE FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
