YouTube Filter (Duration & Keywords)

Hide YouTube videos that don't match your duration range or contain blocked keywords in the title.

Features

• Set minimum and maximum duration in seconds.
• Block by title keywords (case-insensitive, comma-separated).
• Option to hide items with unknown duration (LIVE, Shorts).
• Works across home, search, channel, playlist, and sidebar suggestions.
• Auto-filters as more videos load (infinite scroll).

Install (Developer Mode)

1. Open chrome://extensions (or Edge: edge://extensions).
2. Toggle Developer mode.
3. Click Load unpacked and select the youtube-filter/ folder.
4. Open YouTube and adjust settings from the toolbar popup.

Notes

• Unknown durations (LIVE, Shorts, some premieres) can be hidden via the checkbox.
• Filtering checks video titles only; expand keywords for broader coverage as needed.
• This is a client-side UI filter: it hides elements in your view; it doesn't change YouTube recommendations server-side.

Troubleshooting

• If filtering seems off after navigation, toggle a setting in the popup to trigger a refresh.
• Make sure the extension is enabled and you’re on youtube.com.
