Take back control of your YouTube recommendations and search results. FilterTube helps you restore peace of mind to your digital video experience by blocking unwanted content, channels, and distractions. Whether you are trying to avoid spoilers, hide specific topics, block toxic channels, or simply remove the addictive "Shorts" shelf, FilterTube runs entirely on your device to clean up your feed instantly. NEW in 3.0.5 Resolved some minor bugs and improved filtration via the 3 dot UI. NEW in 3.0.3 Added the feature of blocking the channel directly from the 3 dot menu for content. So now you do not have to manually add the @handle or UC... ID which is a great user experience. The Block Channel is now also available in the 3 dot UI here it will fetch the other UI by showing the Fetching... after you click and this also has Filter All label which you can select before Blocking the channel if you want to also hide other channel content mentioning that channel. and yes for shorts the Fetching will take a while as shorts content in UI do not get served with the channel ID hence we have to first fetch the channel ID where is this content is being served and then we have to do the fetching for the alternate ID for this channel so 2x the work but this is the best I came up with. cheers :) ✨ KEY FEATURES: 🔍 Keyword Filtering • Block videos containing specific words in titles or descriptions. • Supports exact match or partial match. • Great for avoiding spoilers or topics you aren't interested in.
