YouTube Interest Filter

Filter YouTube videos by your interests: keyword/channel lists, local learning, bookmarks and notes.

YouTube Interest Filter — keep your feed focused on what you actually want to watch. WHAT IT DOES • Keyword + channel allowlists / blocklists for precise control • Interest learning: mark “Interested / Not interested” on video cards; a local title+channel word model scores items • Bookmarks & notes: save videos locally, write notes, search and edit anytime • Popup + side panel: toggle filtering and manage lists & bookmarks while you browse • Export / import: back up preferences and bookmarks on your device HOW TO USE 1. Install, open youtube.com, refresh 2. Open the toolbar popup and confirm filtering is enabled 3. Optionally add keywords or channels under Lists 4. Hover a video card → Interested / Not interested / Bookmark 5. Manage notes in the popup or side panel Bookmarks view DEFAULTS (CONFIGURABLE) • Filter mode: dim unmatched cards (or hide) • Empty-model guard: won’t wipe the home feed when lists are empty and the model is still thin • Blocklists win: a match is filtered immediately PRIVACY v1 has no remote server, no analytics SDK, and uploads nothing. Rules, interest weights, bookmarks, and notes live only in chrome.storage.local on your device. Uninstalling the extension or clearing extension data deletes them.
