About

WatchTube improves YouTube’s homepage by making recommendations more useful, varied, and focused on videos you actually want to watch.

Features:
• Adds videos from your Watch Later playlist directly into the homepage feed
• Surfaces random unwatched videos from your subscriptions
• Reshuffles homepage recommendations for better variety
• Option to hide YouTube Shorts
• Helps reduce repetitive or low-quality recommendations

WatchTube works entirely locally in your browser and does not collect personal data or send information to external servers.

Designed for users who want a cleaner, more intentional YouTube browsing experience.

Note: WatchTube is currently in alpha, so minor bugs or layout issues may occur. Feedback is appreciated.
