Vidsieve - Hide YouTube Shorts & Distractions

Block channels and hide watched videos, Mixes, livestreams, comments and recommendations. Filters run 100% on your device.

Tired of Shorts, reruns, and clutter drowning out the videos you actually want to watch? Vidsieve strips all that away. No Shorts, no already-watched videos, no pushy recommendations, no comments section eating your screen. Just your feed, your way. Free forever: • Hide Shorts, Lives, Upcoming, Premieres, Mixes, Playables & Members-only videos • Choose where each filter applies: Home, Subscriptions, Search, channel pages, or next to the video • Block any channel in one click (with undo), mute it for a few days, or whitelist favorites to bypass every rule • Hide videos you've already watched, with a customizable threshold • Filter out videos by upload age • Filter mode: hide matching videos, or just dim them • Remove related videos, end-screen suggestions & the entire comments section • Disable autoplay and infinite scroll, and choose how many videos per row • Clean up the watch page: like/share/save/Ask buttons, description, channel info, merch, live chat & playlist panel • Clean up the sidebar (Explore/Trending, Subscriptions & Shorts shortcuts, topic filter bar, "More from YouTube") • Hide voice search & notifications in the header • Blur thumbnails or hide profile photos across the feed • Blank out the algorithmic home feed, or redirect it straight to Subscriptions, Watch Later, or Library • 3 ready-made profiles (Deep Focus, Learning, Minimal), weekly stats, and settings export & import • Pause with a shortcut, or for a while: it turns back on by itself in an hour or tomorrow morning • Settings open in Chrome's side panel, right next to YouTube Pro unlocks: • Keyword blocklist (with regex support) • Auto-schedule profiles by day & time • 3 extra custom filter profiles, on top of the 3 free presets, plus rename & delete any of them • Daily limit of videos per channel • Filter by duration & view count (min & max) • Hide Discovery & Featured shelves, hide algorithmic shelves in Subscriptions • Preview mode (see what a rule would hide first) • Add or select many channels at once • Sync your settings across computers through your Chrome account • Customize the popup, or open the side panel straight from the toolbar icon Privacy first: No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Everything runs locally in your browser, on the youtube.com page itself, and your watched list never leaves your device. The only network request the extension makes is to verify a Pro license, and only if you activate one. If you turn on Pro sync, your settings travel between your computers through Chrome's own sync. Got an idea? We're listening: Vidsieve is shaped by feedback from people who use it every day. If there's a filter, feature, or fix you'd like to see, send it our way. Every suggestion gets read.
