Extension summary

A lightweight extension for Chrome on YouTube.com where you can hide the videos you've already watched.

Its main functions are:

  • Hide or show videos with one click.
  • Hide or show shorts with one click.
  • Making a backup of all watched videos (can download as a .txt file).

The watchlist is kept in the Chrome cache. Therefore, you can back up your watchlist from time to time and upload your backup in case your Chrome cache is deleted.

Problems:

  • If your page is slowing down due to Youtube's non-refreshing redirect, manually refresh the current page from your browser for faster page loading.

User reviews

I liked the idea, but assumed it actually HID videos from search results that I'd already seen. Still having to scroll through reams of stuff seen - just grayed out using this. I guess it's useful for others, but for me with a lack of simple operators in youtube "search" - even negation (try to stop it bringing up terms you don't want, there may be a way but I can't find it) and it throwing back stuff incessantly I've already seen - I've been trying anything that looks remotely like it might make Youtube behave vaguely normally. Now if you could do that....... :)
