Blocked devices shouldn't be shown

In my opinion, blocked devices (bluetoothctl block MAC) shouldn't be shown in the list, because they can't connect anyway (you'd have to unblock them first). What do you think ?

I was not aware that blocking bluetooth devices was even a feature. There is no indication in the UI, and the Gnome API i am using doesn't expose the info.

I could probably run some commands and determine devices, but its difficult to do as my primary device has become a MacBook, so the extension just gets gnome version compatibly updates.

So this feature is unlikely to be added

Yep, that's something that the Gnome API could/should expose. Blocking devices is part of the BlueZ stack.
