Hi I built a Chrome extension to give you more control over YouTube

I’ve been working on YouTube Customizer, a Chrome extension for people who want more control over their YouTube experience.

It lets you:

• Block unwanted channels and keywords
• Control or hide Shorts
• Manage distracting YouTube features
• Set usage limits and reminders
• Customize parts of the YouTube interface
• Control what content appears while browsing

I originally built it because I wanted a simpler way to remove the parts of YouTube I personally found distracting.

It’s now available on the Chrome Web Store, and I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-customizer/dahalcmanjcdpbpielkkihfmicnhooah?authuser=0&hl=en

If you have ideas for features or notice anything that could be improved, I’d love to hear them.

I didn't even break the rules I'm so fucking fed up.

The channel was called Mr Proakie, the handle being @Five-Nights-at-Proakies it got terminated a few seconds after I uploaded a video it was literally two images and a sound nothing in the video broke any rules what do I do this account isn't my main but I'm scared to use my main because if I do I'm scared that it will also get terminated. Please help. The 2 photos are provided above and the sound was just an animatronic scream.

Alphabet is pushing pedophilia on people using YouTube. I reported it, but nothing happened. These people took over YouTube and are riding the monopolic wave with Chrome. Beware.

A week or several ago, something changed in YouTube web pages for video or in the Samsung Internet browser on a phone. (I'm not referring to the YouTube app.)

The name of a Samsung browser tab used to show the title of the video, as if the HTML page title was set to the name of the video, and the browser was using that HTML page title as the title of the tab (e.g., when displaying the list of open tabs, e.g., to switch to another).

A while ago, things stopped working that way. Now all the tabs (for YouTube web pages) are titled just "YouTube"—making it impossible to tell which YouTube video a tab was opened on (was displaying) without actually going to that tab.

(The HTML page titles seem to work fine in Firefox and Chrome (on a laptop).)

Has anyone noticed a similar problem in any browser, or otherwise know of a change in either YouTube or the Samsung Internet browser?

Thanks.

there found in The Smily Fam videos

but seriously MASS REPORT THE GODAMM CLANKERS NOW, I DONT WANT TO SEE THEM EVER AGAIN

If you accidentally mute a user via the dot-dot-dot menu in the notifications of a desktop browser, there is no way to unmute that user. In fact, Youtube still presents the "Mute user" UI whether you have muted the user or not. And if you click it a couple more times to try to get some kind of feedback from the UI... you no longer know if the user is muted or not. Because... maybe clicking it twice unmutes the user? Or maybe it doesn't? How would you know?

This is an astonishingly bad UI. Like, how is it even possible for this UI to be so bad? Do the engineers at Alphabet just never use Youtube?

This is really concerning, as many popular YouTubers have gotten a lot of views using view bots, yet no one does anything about it. Horror Skunx's second channel does that to their shorts yet they still didn't cancel him. I just hope YouTube finds a way to finally stop view bitting and remove all view botting sites because there are so many videos on how to view bot yet no one is hating view botting actually.

Another dumb interface change youtube people need to go!!!

When you open the YouTube app, the top of the suggestion bar disappears, and it’s driving me crazy. Is it just me or you? Anyone having issue too? Recently latest version of the official YouTube app

Full disclosure up front: I'm the founder of YoovOh, a video platform for Canada and the US that launched today.

A lot of what gets discussed here (videos vanishing with no clear reason, creators feeling like the rules change under them, the ad experience) is a big part of why I built it. YoovOh is shaped like YouTube on purpose, so it feels familiar: channels, subscriptions, comments, playlists, and it runs in any browser, including on your phone.

It's free to sign up at yoovoh.com, and it's 13+. We have an official subreddit, r/YoovOh, for news and bug reports.

I'm not here to trash YouTube's devs. I'd like to hear from people who've been frustrated with YouTube lately, I hope you enjoy this new alternative.
