YouTube UI Cleaner: Customize Your Feed & Filter Topics

Description

Customize your YouTube feed. Remove Shorts, sponsored videos, Mixes, podcasts, and live streams, and filter any topic by keyword. Decide what your feed shows, and keep the layout you already know. YouTube UI Cleaner is a free, open-source extension with a separate switch for each type of distraction, plus keyword filters for the topics you want to avoid. WHAT YOU CAN HIDE • Shorts on Home, in Subscriptions, in search results, on video pages, and in the sidebar, each with its own switch • Mixes, podcasts, and playlists in recommendations, while your Playlists library stays intact • Live streams, upcoming videos, and premieres, as separate filters • Sponsored video cards across the site, subscription and trial offers, and paid-promotion overlays • Community posts, nudges, recommendation shelves, Home category chips, members-only videos, and Playables BLOCK TOPICS WITH KEYWORD FILTERS Create named groups for anything you would rather not see, such as spoilers, sports results, celebrity news, reactions, or reviews. Each group turns on and off independently, and video cards with matching visible text are hidden automatically. Filters only check text on the card, so they can miss a video whose card does not use your words. PAUSE FILTERS IN ONE CLICK Press the pause button in the popup to see the unfiltered site in every open tab. Press play to resume with all of your settings unchanged. QUICK VIDEO ACTIONS Watch Later and Not Interested shortcuts appear on supported hover previews and watch-page recommendations, so you can skip the three-dot menu. They use the site's own actions, including its confirmation and Undo. COMMON QUESTIONS Does it block ads? It hides sponsored video cards. It does not block network requests, skip ads during playback, or remove sponsor segments from videos. Does it change the design? No. It only hides what you choose. Filters for mixes, podcasts, playlists, live videos, and members-only videos leave channel pages complete. Which pages does it work on? Home, Subscriptions, Search, and watch-page recommendations on the main website. It does not run on YouTube Music or Studio. Which languages are supported? 20 languages. The popup follows your browser language, and content detection follows the language set on the site. PRIVATE AND OPEN SOURCE All filtering happens in your browser, and no personal data is collected or transmitted. Your settings are saved with your browser's extension storage. This is an independent extension and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
