## Description

**YouTube UI Cleaner** helps you take control of YouTube by hiding distracting formats and clutter across the Home feed, subscriptions, search results, sidebars, and watch pages. Individually disable Shorts, mixes, podcasts, playlists, live streams, promotions, Community posts, recommendation shelves, and category chips without redesigning YouTube’s interface.

Create custom keyword filter groups to automatically hide videos about topics you want to avoid, including spoilers, sports results, celebrity news, reactions, and reviews. Quick **Watch Later** and **Not Interested** actions are also available directly from supported thumbnails. The open-source add-on runs locally and does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
