YouTube channel whitelisting feature documentation
Somewhere in the documentation (maybe as a tooltip on the
options menu), you should make it clear that this feature works by
appending the parameter channel=<channel-name>
to the query string, refreshing if that parameter is not there, so
that it may be added to the URL bar as a hook for whitelisting
rules; this has caused me a couple weeks of frustration as every
video I would watch on YouTube would load a bit and then refresh
before I could play it.
At first I thought it was just some odd new change made to
YouTube itself, but the channel
URL parameter never
showed up in the lists I could find on the Web, and then i decided
to investigate YouTube Center's options, but when I looked through
the network traffic in the Web Inspector it was clear that it came
from AdBlock; for any users reading this, don't enable
this "just in case," and instead only enable it if you really need
to whitelist specific channels, because it will have a
performance cost.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the suggestion!
I've passed this on to our team, and we'll take a look at it.
