скрывает но не все, поэтому в топку как бесполезное

For me, this is the best free extension for marking videos as watched, and hiding them from my subscriptions-overview. Some days is marks 2 videos as watched, while I only click on one, but all in all it's the most user friendly one that I've tried...and I've tried a lot.
