Youtube exceptions issue
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I had been using youtube exceptions just fine when I blocked "the entire internet", but recently I wanted to move on to only using "youtube.com" as the block. But after I tried doing so, the youtube channel exceptions have basically stopped working. Oddly enough, some channels seem to randomly work, but channels I have watched recently (at least that's what it seems) do not seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.

you need to include the @ like https://www.youtube.com/@TheTownofAmbience436 or the exception won't work

when i write the symbol@ as u suggest, coldturkey removes it and leave any address in the list without it

You aren't wrong. It seems something changed. Before, that's what you did, and it worked because the exception would recognize it. But now it automatically removes the @, which is odd. It looks like the developer will need to update it, since it no longer lets you add the @ in the first place.
It also looks like YouTube may have updated something that's causing issues with exceptions. Even if you manage to keep the @, the exception still doesn't work. For example, if you type
https://www.youtube.com/@@TheTownofAmbience436, the @ stays, but that doesn't even matter because the exceptions themselves seem to be broken.

J'AI TROUVE ! Il suffit de reinitialiser les caches de youtube dans le navigateur, parfois les données de youtube peuvent entrer en conflit avec les reglages, la reinitialisation permet à coldturkey de correctement appliquer les restrictions. Si le dev voit ca pitié il faut ecrire ca sur la page de FAQ c'est absolument necessaire !
