Features
Powerful Features
Hide Shorts, Mixes, Playlists & Lives
Eliminate distracting Shorts, Mix playlists, Playlists and live streams everywhere on YouTube.
Views Filter
Hide videos below a minimum view count, above a maximum one, or both together to keep only a popularity range. Quality over quantity.
Upload Date Filter
Hide videos that are too new or too old. Set two independent thresholds to keep only content from a specific time window, with multi-language date parsing.
Filter Mode: Hide or Dim
Choose whether filtered videos disappear completely or stay visible with a dark overlay showing why they were filtered. Dim mode keeps elements clickable.
Channel & Title Whitelist
Exempt your favorite channels from every filter. Add them straight from the filtered overlay, the Subscribe button, or the popup, with an undo window so a stray click never sticks. Or whitelist a word, and every video with it in its title is never filtered.
Channel & Title Blacklist
The opposite of Whitelist: always hide a channel's videos everywhere, including Shorts, Mixes, Playlists and Lives. Add it from the Subscribe button, a hover button on any video card, filtered or not, or the popup, with the same undo window as Whitelist. Or blacklist a word, and every video with it in its title is always hidden, even from a whitelisted channel. Thousands of entries? Manage every list on one page, with search, bulk paste and Undo.
Master Extension Switch
Instantly pause every filter with one switch in the popup header, without losing any of your settings.
Watched
Mark as Watched
YouTube sometimes forgets the progress bar on a video you already saw, and it knows nothing about the ones you watched on another account. Mark them yourself, and they go away like any other watched video.
-
Hover and click Watched
A Watched button appears next to Blacklist at the top of any video thumbnail. The video is hidden or dimmed following your Hide Watched Videos settings, on the same pages.
-
Change your mind anytime
A 3 second Undo catches a stray click before it counts. In Dim mode, the overlay of a marked video carries an Unmark button that brings it back right away.
-
Manage them in one page
Manage, in the Hide Watched Videos card, opens every marked video newest first, on the same page as your whitelists and blacklists. Search by title, channel or ID, remove one or several with Undo, and export or import every list as one file.
-
Synced across devices
Marks follow you to every computer signed into the same Chrome profile. Up to 3,000 videos are kept, and the page warns you well before the oldest ones start to drop.
Lists
Manage Every List
Channel Whitelist, Channel Blacklist, Title Whitelist, Title Blacklist and your marked videos, all on one page that stays quick with thousands of entries.
-
Paste many at once
Drop in a stack of handles, channel links or words, one per line. Before anything is saved, a preview shows what is new, what is already listed and what moves over from the opposite list.
-
Find anything in seconds
Search filters as you type and sorting puts the newest or A to Z first. Shift-click a range, or select every match, then remove it or move it to the other list in one go.
-
Every change can be undone
Adding, removing and moving all come with Undo. Clearing a whole list asks first, and offers to export a backup before anything goes.
-
Synced, with room to grow
Your lists follow you to every computer signed into the same Chrome profile, in a compact format that fits around 12,000 to 14,000 channels and words. Past that, nothing is lost: they keep working right where you are.
