User reviews

Users appreciate this Chrome extension for enabling multi-selection and batch management of YouTube videos, greatly aiding playlist organization and cleanup. It handles large volumes well but struggles with fully loading long playlists without manual scrolling and can fail deleting large numbers of videos at once. YouTube Shorts support is inconsistent, and some features like duration filtering experience bugs. Selection resetting after actions and occasional bugs in moving videos affect usability. Despite these issues, overall it significantly simplifies tasks YouTube's official interface lacks.

Pros

Allows multi-selection and batch removal of YouTube videos, saving significant time
Helps organize and clean up playlists effectively, especially large "Watch Later" lists
Enables moving, deleting, or adding multiple videos simultaneously, improving playlist management
Supports filtering videos by various criteria (e.g., name, uploader, watch percentage, duration)
Effective in handling thousands of videos when used properly with scrolling to load items

Cons

"Load entire playlist" button often fails to load full playlists, requiring manual scrolling before it works
Issues deleting beyond about 600 videos at once; removal sometimes fails without clear error
Limited or inconsistent support for YouTube Shorts in selection and removal
Selection resets after performing actions like adding videos to playlists, which is inconvenient
Some features (e.g., duration filtering or moving videos to top/bottom) have bugs or have temporarily disappeared

なんで公式がその機能実装してないのシリーズ筆頭。 GmailもDriveも複数選択できるのになぜYoutubeだけできなくするのか本当に不思議でならない。ずっとこれがやりたかった。大変便利です。

もしかすると私だけの現象かもしれませんが、YouTubeの再生リストで「プレイリスト全体をロードする」ボタンが機能しないようです。 VivaldiとChrome、デスクトップPCとノートPCの両方で試しましたが、どの環境でもプレイリストがロードされず困っています。もし、この現象が再現されるようでしたら、修正をご検討いただけますと幸いです。

Thanks developer this worked 100%, removed my 5000 youtube watch later videos. Also took a backup before removing, all with this extension. THANKS ! I just have one request, when I remove 400-500 videos, it should show a spinner that it is removing. Also it fails to remove anything beyond 600 videos at one go, might be yt problem. Also there is a bug, when in a playlist with 5000 videos I click load entire playlist, it fails, but if I scroll to the next 200 videos and then click load entire playlist, it works just fine
