## Description

**NihongoTube** transforms YouTube into a Japanese immersion environment for learners preparing from JLPT N5 to N1. Filter recommendations, search results, comments, pages, and autoplay content to focus on Japanese videos, while hiding distracting non-Japanese content and auto-dubbed audio. Discover over 100 recommended Japanese channels and find videos with real Japanese subtitles instead of auto-generated captions.

The Firefox add-on displays crowdsourced JLPT difficulty estimates, lets you filter videos by level, and tracks Japanese watch time with detailed statistics. NihongoTube also supports Firefox for Android and other compatible mobile browsers, offers one-click filtering controls, and collects only anonymous JLPT estimate data when enabled. Built for serious learners pursuing Japanese fluency and immersion on YouTube.
