OwnFeed

Always-on YouTube topic filtering and channel blocking, with an optional Focus timer.

Your feed. Your rules. OwnFeed helps you choose what you see on desktop YouTube. Hide distracting topics, focus on an interest, block channels, and simplify the page. - General: hide recommendations matching topics you want to skip. - Focus: keep recommendations matching your chosen interests, with an optional timer. - Keep your intent specific: “movie reviews” means reviews, rather than all movie content. - Hide Shorts, comments, recommendations, and other distracting page sections. - Manually block channels and correct missed matches. - Change your topics or pause filtering directly on YouTube. OwnFeed is free and needs no OwnFeed account or subscription. Layout controls and manual blocks work without AI. For AI topic filtering, bring your own TypeSafe/Jev API key. TypeSafe charges any provider usage to your account; AI usage is not included with the extension. A TypeSafe account with access to jev-1.13.0 is required. Monitor usage and available balance with your provider. Your key is kept in Chrome's trusted session storage and sent only to TypeSafe. You must re-enter it after restarting Chrome or updating/reloading OwnFeed. AI checks send your chosen topics and relevant YouTube video/channel text to TypeSafe. Settings, blocks, and corrections stay in your browser profile. Filtering can make mistakes, and changes to YouTube can affect compatibility. OwnFeed controls which recommendations are visible in your browser; it does not change YouTube's underlying recommendation model. Desktop YouTube only. OwnFeed is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
