Dim + Filter Seen YouTube Videos
Overview
Dim and filter YouTube videos you've already scrolled past. Skip the repeats and focus on what's actually new.
Ever notice how YouTube keeps serving you the exact same video recommendations you decided not to click five minutes ago? You keep scrolling past them, and they keep showing up. This extension solves that without any heavy-handed blocking or messing with YouTube's recommendation algorithm. It does one practical thing: once you've genuinely scrolled past a video tile, it dims it down. New recommendations pop out at a glance; repeats fade quietly into the background. How it works: - Smart visibility checks: A video card must be visible for at least two seconds and then scrolled out of view for two seconds before it's marked as seen. Fast scrolling won't accidentally dim anything. - Videos you actually watch stay clear: Clicking and watching a video prevents it from getting dimmed. - Works across YouTube: Home feed, Subscriptions, Search results, and sidebar recommendations on watch pages. - Simple popup controls: Dial in your preferred dim strength from 0 to 100%, toggle off when needed, or wipe history in one click. - Info & Support tab: Quick links to report issues on GitHub or buy a coffee if it saves you daily screen frustration. - Zero tracking: Everything stays strictly in your browser's local storage. No external servers, no telemetry, no account required. Data expires automatically after 65 days.
