Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Hide the duration of YouTube videos to prevent spoiling the ending. In particular, a Let’s Play video of a rogue-like coming to an end suggests the player will make a crucial mistake soon.

With this extension a duration can be hidden at the start of a video manually, and also all videos matching a particular title can have their durations hidden automatically.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Works great and effectively hides video durations.
Perfect for watching gaming videos without spoilers.
Unique feature not commonly found in other browsers.

Can't block duration until the video is opened.
Doesn't work on YouTube for some users.

Most mentioned

Works great.
Can't block duration until you've already opened the video.

User reviews

It's true that it won't hide the duration until after the video is opened (Even with "Hide automatically" rules set), i.e search results and suggestions will still show durations.

Works great. One of it's kind. I wonder why such a feature is not present at any browser yet. Thanks to the developer!

Still works 2022-04-14. Another review said you can't block duration until it's open, but that's wrong, you just click the extension and hit the button "Hide automatically" button and set a rule. Works great if the titles have something consistent in them.
