Problem Description

I have very large filter list of 1k+ channels i've hidden over many years with a browser extension called "blocktube" I have tried to highlight and copy and paste the whole list of hidden channel IDs into the "hide videos from channels" but realized you can only add one channel name or ID at a time, so that would mean i would have to manually add all my hidden channels which would take too long.

Proposed Solution

Add an option to import .json backup files exported from blocktube into freetube in order to add multiple channels to hide all at once.

Alternatives Considered

allow copying and pasting a list of Channel IDs or channel names into a vertical list with numbered lines in order to add multiple channels to hide all at once.

Not just importing blocked channels would be great, but also exporting. From what I can tell this is currently also not possible.

Would definitely be keen on this also after reading this personal blog post.

Definitely feels doable given Freetube is built on some flavour of Chromium/Electron.

Closing as implementing this isnt feasible
