User reviews

quite counterproductive if there is not settings to do this only to videos on sidebar hiding the videos i have watched from searching on searchbar for rewatching purposes is dumb

Hasn't been working for the last few weeks. I don't know if it's because of the new Youtube update, or what... but it's useless now.
