YouTube Watched Videos Hider is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to automatically hide videos you've already watched on YouTube, helping you maintain a clean and fresh video feed. Without needing any manual clicks, the extension filters out watched content from various YouTube pages like subscriptions, playlists, search results, user channels, and more. This ensures you spend less time revisiting old videos and more time discovering new content.

The extension offers configurable settings such as showing hidden videos by toggling the extension on or off and hiding videos only after a certain percentage has been watched. Additionally, you can whitelist your favorite channels to prevent their videos from being hidden. It even works experimentally on YouTube mobile. Note that the YouTube watch history page (youtube.com/feed/history) is not altered to preserve its function. Available also as a user script for other browsers, this tool is ideal for users who want a streamlined, clutter-free YouTube browsing experience.

Seemed to work for a while... Then it started hiding the entire list of suggestions to the right of videos :/ When toggling the extension off it was clear that I hadn't viewed any of the videos being hidden! Dunno why this started happening but something is broken about this extension. Maybe ill try it again if it gets an update.

I really really want it to work, but all it does for me is just hides all suggestions, like the whole suggestion column. Something clearly isn't working correctly. I hope it will be fixed, but reading other reviews does not give me a lot of hope.
