Aozora - YouTube Hide Filter

Hides video cards on YouTube based on the block lists you configure.

Aozora quietly removes video cards and comments on YouTube according to rules you set yourself. It exists so that the time you spend scrolling past things you did not want to see can go to the things you did. WHAT IT DOES - Hide a whole channel One click, from a button on the thumbnail or from the "..." menu. - Keeps working after a rename Channels are matched by channel ID (UC...), not by name, so renames and lookalike spellings do not slip through. - Comments disappear too Comments from channels you blocked are hidden. Three levels of strictness to choose from. - Keyword filters Hide videos by words in the title. Regular expressions are supported. - Allow list Channels you never want hidden win over every other rule. - Focus mode Turn off Shorts, recommendations, related videos, the comment section, the sidebar, and more — surface by surface. "Today I only want what I searched for" is one switch away. - Subscription lists Add the URL of a public block list and it is refreshed automatically every 24 hours. - Backup Export and import your settings and lists as a JSON file, ready for a new machine or a reset. - Five languages English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Spanish. Selectable independently of your browser language. - Built to stay readable Contrast was measured against WCAG 2.2 AA and meets it. Keyboard operation, screen readers, and browser font size changes are all supported. Light and dark follow YouTube's own theme. PRIVACY - There is no server. The developer never receives your data. - Your settings and lists stay inside your own browser. - No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. - The only permissions requested are storage, alarms, and access to www.youtube.com. No browsing history permission, no access to any other site.

The point is to give you back an information space that is as clear as an open sky. That means some firm lines: - It never acts on YouTube on your behalf (no posting, reporting, disliking, or commenting). - It will never label channels by politics, ideology, or belief. What gets hidden is your call alone. - It is non-commercial. No paid tier, no donation prompts. REQUIREMENTS Chrome 111 or later.
