Better Youtube

Customize the youtube interface, as well as store a permanent and sharable search history.

Have complete control over your YouTube browsing experience. Filter almost any content type and build a permanent, portable watch history that YouTube can't reset. Features include: Hide previously watched videos using a custom watch history list that persists across sessions and can be exported and re-imported at any time Automatically capture videos you mark "Not Interested" as watched — they won't appear again Count partially watched videos as watched (configurable threshold) Filter by video length (minimum and maximum) Hide YouTube Shorts — including the Shorts sidebar button and channel tab Hide playlists and mix recommendations Hide members-only content Hide live streams Hide any video whose title contains a specific word or phrase (word blacklist) Control which pages are filtered: home feed, subscriptions, channel pages, search results, and video sidebars can each be toggled independently Enable or disable the entire extension with a single button YouTube's native watch history resets recommendations over time. This extension maintains its own permanent list that you fully control — export it as a categorized .txt file to back it up or share it across devices, and re-import it at any time. To capture your full existing YouTube watch history, press the green Retrieve Account Watch History button in the popup. This opens a dedicated history import page that automatically scrolls and indexes your entire history into the extension. If you encounter any bugs or issues please report them on this page.
