Max duration filter is 120 min for video. But I want to find only very long videos, above 300-600 minutes.

OKAY, I LOVE THIS EXTENSION EVEN MORE NOW... apart from the fact it has probably been the most useful & beneficial filter I've installed for improving my experience on YT. Had left some feedback a little while ago in regards to getting this extension to be able to continuously filter out videos as they load in the YT feed. (having needed to set it to a keybind to quickly get it to then filter newly loaded YT videos instead) After try to use the extension today, I saw that I needed to restart/re-enable some permissions for this extension, upon doing so I almost immediately noticed that it had actually started to continuously filter out videos as they loaded from the feed. Seeing that this was only updated a few days ago I presume this was a recent patch/improvement I'm very happy with the way this now functions. Regardless of whether or not the update/patch/ect.. was from the feedback or not I just wanted leave a review to say I appreciate it and that it is a great extension overall!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Longform YouTube Filter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
