TubeSift - YouTube Filter & Channel Blocker

Description

Filter YouTube search and feeds, hide Shorts and watched videos, and block channels or keywords with temporary timeouts. TubeSift gives you complete control over what appears on YouTube so you can research, study, or unwind without algorithmic clutter. Whether you want to isolate long-form tutorials, hide watched uploads, or put noisy channels on a temporary timeout, your preferences apply immediately across search results, your home feed, and watch pages. Free Tier (Included Forever, No Account Required): - Clean Up Search & Feeds: Isolate the exact format you want by hiding Shorts, live broadcasts, archived streams, mixes, playables, or previously watched uploads (at the default >50% progress setting). - Upload Date & Duration Ranges: Narrow search results by exact publication dates or length in minutes. - Distraction-Free Viewing: Declutter video pages by hiding comments, chat, end-screen cards, and sidebar suggestions. - Quick Block & Timeouts (Up to 20 Active Rules): Mute any channel, video, or title keyword permanently or set an auto-expiring timeout (1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, or custom date) from the card menu button, plus JSON backup export. Optional Lifetime Pro Upgrade (One-Time Purchase, No Subscription): - Unlimited Blacklist & Timeouts: Remove the 20-rule Free limit for permanent and timed mutes. - Regex Matching & Creator Allowlist: Match complex headline patterns using regular expressions (/pattern/flags) and protect favorite creators with a priority allowlist. - View Count Range & Custom Progress Thresholds: Narrow results by minimum/maximum views and customize watched thresholds (>0%, >75%, or >90%). - Anti-Clickbait Headlines & Tab Pruning: Convert ALL-CAPS clickbait titles into readable Title Case or Sentence Case, and strip Shorts or Live tabs from creator profiles. - Cross-Device Sync & JSON Import: Synchronize settings across signed-in browsers and import JSON backups (Merge or Replace). How It Works: 1. Open the TubeSift toolbar popup to choose presets for Search, Feeds, Focus, or Blacklist rules. 2. Hover over any video card and click the block icon beside the three-dot menu to mute a target for a chosen duration. 3. Press Undo on the confirmation toast if you change your mind, or manage active entries anytime in the popup. Privacy and Data Handling: All filtering happens locally inside your browser. Your rules and settings are stored locally and are never sold, tracked, or sent to advertising servers.
