Old version was out of date and no longer functional.

This is a 'fork' of https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/22308-youtube-whitelist-channels-in-ublock-origin based on https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/13226-youtube-whitelist-channels-in-ublock-origin with adaption from https://greasyfork.org/en/forum/discussion/8985

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^="owner-name"] a');if (null !== e) {var t = e.getAttribute("href") || "";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.
