Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension is written for Ukrainians who are tired of seeing content in the Russian language on their Youtube. Even if your Google account language is Ukrainian (or English), and your OS language is not Russian but your location is Ukraine, Youtube will continue to show you videos in Russian.

This extension helps you with this issue. It may hide (blur) all videos with title or the channel name in the russian language. Also, optionally, it may click "Not interested" on such videos. So, next time you will see less such videos.

Hides Russian content on YouTube, and helps not to recommend it if it finds Russian letters (ы, ъ, е...) or specifically Russian words in the video title. In order for Russian videos to be blocked, you need to log in to your YouTube account (otherwise they will be just blurred).

► Currently works on: ✓ Home page ✓ Sidebar recommendations (when watching video).

► Has different ways to block russian videos: ✓ Just blur (intensity is configurable) ✓ Click "Not interested" and blur ✓ Click "Not recommend this channel"
