Doesn't work with WordPress 4.8.1
Saved list vanishes once entered and categories remain. Removing plugin leaves categories still present even with widget removed.

Does exactly what you need
It's a very simple widget that works exactly like the native one except for the ability to exclude unwanted categories by a list of id's.
