YTLock

About

Take back control of your YouTube experience.

YTLock lets you block any YouTube channel with a single click. Blocked channels disappear completely from your home feed, search results, recommendations, sidebar, and Shorts. No more content from creators you don't want to see.

**How it works**
- Right-click any channel link on YouTube → "Block this channel"
- Or type a @handle, channel name, or URL in the popup
- Blocked content is instantly removed from every page

**Features**
- Block channels everywhere: home, search, trending, subscriptions, sidebar, and recommendations
- Block all Shorts globally with one toggle — hide every Short from every channel
- Disable live chat on all videos — reclaims the sidebar space too
- Auto-skip videos from blocked channels when autoplay is on
- Full blocklist manager in a dedicated dashboard
- Import & export your blocklist as JSON — back up or share across devices
- Works instantly — no page reload needed
- Syncs across your Chrome browsers via Chrome Sync

**Privacy first**
YTLock does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays locally on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no servers. Zero network requests.
