TameTube

Tidy up YouTube — stop Shorts looping, block channels & keywords, force original audio, rotate videos, and more.

TameTube tames YouTube and hands control back to you. It's lightweight, private, and runs only on youtube.com. FEATURES • Shorts playback fixes — disables the endless loop, stops the previous Short from playing in the background, and auto-advances to the next Short when one ends. • Shorts controls — an easier-to-grab progress scrubber and a per-Short loop toggle. • Content filter — hide videos by channel or by title keyword/regex. Matches are removed from your home feed, search, and watch sidebar BEFORE they render, so there's no flicker. Manage your blocklist from the options page. • One-click block — hover any video card for a "block channel" button. On the Shorts player, block the channel and fire YouTube's own "Don't recommend this channel." • Force original audio — automatically restores the creator's original audio track, disabling auto-dubbing. • Rotate video — rotate the player -90° with a single click (resets on the next video), on both watch pages and Shorts. PRIVACY TameTube collects, transmits, and sells NO data. Your blocklist and preferences are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage). It requests only the "storage" permission and runs solely on youtube.com. No accounts, no tracking, no remote code. HOW IT WORKS TameTube filters YouTube's own feed data before it renders and adjusts the player directly on the page. Everything is bundled with the extension — nothing is loaded from a remote server.
