Tube Hide - Hide YouTube's Distractions von Jakub Sak

Block specific channels and keywords, blur thumbnails, strip view counts, or make the whole site grayscale, on top of hiding the usual YouTube distractions like the home feed, sidebar, shorts, comments, and end screen suggestions.

Tube Hide is a customizable checklist of toggles for cutting out whatever pulls your attention away from the video you came to watch. Everything is controlled from the popup, no page reload needed, no account required.

WHAT SETS TUBE HIDE APART:
- Channel Blocklist: hide every video from specific channels across feeds and search results
- Keyword Blocklist: hide any video whose title contains a word or phrase you choose
- Blur Thumbnails: keep the layout but blur out the clickbait imagery until you choose to look
- Hide View Counts: remove the social-proof numbers that nudge you toward whatever's already popular
- Grayscale Mode: drain the color out of YouTube to make it less visually gripping

- Sidebar (Recommended Videos, Live Chat, Playlists, Donation Panel)
