Install the user script.

Add the following bookmarklet to your toolbar: it will create a whitelist directive for you to add to uBlock Origin for the channel owner of the current Youtube page:

Chromium-based browsers: right-click on the toolbar, select "Add page..."
Firefox-based browsers: right-click on the toolbar, select "New Bookmark..."
Fill in the fields:
- Name: uBO: YT channel whitelist directive (change as you wish)
- URL/location: see below.
- Click "Save" or "Add".

Bookmarklet URL/location:

javascript:(function() {"use strict";var e = document.querySelector('[id^="watch"][id$="-container"] [itemprop="channelId"][content]');if (null !== e) {var t = e.getAttribute("content") || "";if ('' !== t) return void prompt("uBO whitelist directive for this channel:","youtube.com/*user=" + encodeURIComponent(t) + "*")}alert("No Youtube user name found on this page.")})();

Once you click this bookmarklet while on a Youtube page, it will extract the channel owner's name and create a valid directive to be pasted in the Whitelist pane of uBlock Origin if you want to whitelist the Youtube channel.
