Better Youtube

About

Have complete control over your YouTube browsing experience. Filter almost any content type and build a permanent, portable watch history that YouTube can't reset.
Features include:

Hide previously watched videos using a custom watch history list that persists across sessions and can be exported and re-imported at any time
Automatically capture videos you mark "Not Interested" as watched — they won't appear again
Count partially watched videos as watched (configurable threshold)
Filter by video length (minimum and maximum)
Hide YouTube Shorts — including the Shorts sidebar button and channel tab
Hide playlists and mix recommendations
Hide members-only content
Hide live streams
Hide any video whose title contains a specific word or phrase (word blacklist)
Control which pages are filtered: home feed, subscriptions, channel pages, search results, and video sidebars can each be toggled independently
Enable or disable the entire extension with a single button

YouTube's native watch history resets recommendations over time. This extension maintains its own permanent list that you fully control — export it as a categorized .txt file to back it up or share it across devices, and re-import it at any time.
To capture your full existing YouTube watch history, press the green Retrieve Account Watch History button in the popup. This opens a dedicated history import page that automatically scrolls and indexes your entire history into the extension.
