YouTube Value Filter

About

Take control of YouTube. Reclaim your time.

This extension helps you filter distractions and focus on what actually matters.

It hides Shorts, Playables, ads, and low-effort sidebar clutter. You can even set a minimum video length—because studies show that short-form videos tend to increase distraction, reduce retention, and promote passive consumption over meaningful engagement.

But the real magic? You can mark videos as Valuable or Not Valuable—and over time, your YouTube homepage and recommendations will begin to reflect videos that bring value to your life. They’ll start to reflect what you actually gain from watching—not just what grabs your attention in the moment.

Whether you're trying to learn something new, build better habits, or just stop doomscrolling, this is your tool for a more mindful, intentional YouTube diet—one that aligns with how you actually want to spend your time.
