The Gutenberg Block inserter can quickly become cluttered. There are currently over

you to disable the blocks you or your clients don’t need.

### TODO

 * Add search function to the block list.
 * Add ‘enabled/disabled’ filter to block list.
 * Add ‘Block Author’ filter to block list.

### Missing Blocks

It works as it said it’s supposed to with no upselling, obtrusive ads. Has a clear
interface.

This plugin is not getting updates in a year. It also causes the Gutenberg editor
to crash. Avoid.

The plugin made it super simple to disable some of the blocks that I wanted to be
kept away from the general editors to avoid confusion. WOW, it just needed a click
and done. Thank you for this amazing work!

It hides many unnecessary blocks perfectly. I am really grateful to the developer.
