Whether you're simply curious about the video categorization or need these categories for activities like web filtering, Youtube Categories has got you covered by restoring this vital piece of information.

"This extension allows you to easily see YouTube video categories again... If you're just curious, or need to view these categories for web filtering" I'm trying to completely hide videos from certain YouTube Categories, do you happen to have any suggestions to do this?
