stopRU for YouTube

Remove Russian videos from your YouTube. Install once — it works on its own.

stopRU — a YouTube cleaner that removes Russian videos from your feed and recommendations. Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stopru/ Every time you open a YouTube page, stopRU scans video and channel titles. When it detects Russian-specific letters (ё, ъ, ы, э) without any Ukrainian (ґ, є, і, ї) or Belarusian (ў) letters present, it takes one of these actions: * clicks "Not interested" (default) * clicks "Don't recommend channel" * highlights the video without taking any action With every visit, fewer Russian videos will appear in your feed. You clean up your account and signal to YouTube that this content is unwanted. You need to be signed in to YouTube for the extension to work. Where stopRU works: * Home page — removes * Search results — dims * What's new — dims * Watch page recommendations — removes * Watch page comments — dims * YouTube Kids — home page — removes * YouTube Kids — watch page — removes * YouTube Kids — search — removes * YouTube Kids — watch again — removes Every time you open YouTube, you take a stand. Let's stop Russian content together! If the extension accidentally removes a video from a channel you like — don't worry, you can still visit the channel page directly to watch it. But take a moment to ask yourself if it's really worth your time. More info: https://stopru.in.ua *We're constantly improving.
