Quick block for TikTok: one click marks a video Not interested and blocks its account.
Idea & design by LeerBox
- One-click cleanup. Marks the video Not interested so TikTok shows less like it, then blocks the account.
- Buttons in the right places. They appear wherever accounts show up, and never sit on top of TikTok's own controls.
- Auto-skip. Videos from accounts you've already blocked are skipped in the feed.
- Dimmed comments. Comments from blocked accounts fade out.
- Keyboard shortcut. Alt + B blocks the author of the video on screen.
- Popup. Settings and a list of recently blocked accounts.
| Place | Position |
|---|---|
| For You / Following / video page | Top edge of the video, just left of TikTok's ⋯ button. Expands to "Not interested + Block" on hover. |
| Comments & replies | Small ⊘ next to the username (shows on hover). |
| Profile page | "Block" button next to the ⋯ button in the header. |
| Search results | ⊘ next to the author name on each card. |
| LIVE: host | Round ⊘ button next to TikTok's share button in the stream header. |
| LIVE: chat | Small ⊘ next to each chatter's name (shows on hover). |
| LIVE cards in the feed | "LIVE now · Following · ⊘ Banish" on the stream preview. |
| New full-width player | "⊘ Banish" next to the creator's name and Follow. |
| Everywhere else | Any username link (Explore, follower lists, notifications, search Users tab, sidebar): ⊘ next to the name, or on the card's right edge. |
- Download banish-vX.Y.Z.zip from the latest release and unzip it.
- Open
chrome://extensions(oredge://extensions). - Turn on Developer mode.
- Click Load unpacked and pick the folder.
- Reload any open TikTok tab.
Banish opens the account's profile in a hidden same-origin frame and clicks TikTok's own
⋯ → Block → Block buttons. If that fails, it retries in a background tab that closes itself.
"Not interested" uses the native option from the video's ⋯ menu (videos only).
Nothing is sent anywhere else: the list of blocked accounts stays in your browser.
- Set TikTok's language to English: the block flow finds buttons by their text ("Block" / "Unblock").
- To unblock someone, open their profile on TikTok and press Unblock.
- Banish is an independent project and is not affiliated with TikTok or ByteDance.
- Bump
versioninmanifest.json. - Add a
## [x.y.z] - datesection at the top ofCHANGELOG.md. - Commit, then tag and push:
git tag vx.y.z && git push origin vx.y.z.
GitHub Actions checks the version, validates the code, builds banish-vx.y.z.zip with a SHA-256 checksum,
and publishes the release with notes taken from the changelog. Tags with a suffix (e.g. v1.1.0-beta.1) become pre-releases.
Banish collects nothing. See the privacy policy.
