About this project
YouTube is very good at keeping you watching. This extension decides which thumbnails and titles look like time-wasters and drops a shield over the whole card, so you still see it exists — but you have to mean it to watch. Nothing is ever hidden permanently. Every covered video has a reveal, and once you reveal it, it stays revealed for that tab. Scans the home feed, search results, subscriptions, and the watch-page sidebar.

Watch out
Needs Chrome with an unpacked load plus your own TypeSafe key; judgments reflect visible card text and optional descriptions. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
It scans the home feed, search results, subscriptions, and watch-page sidebar, reading title, channel, and duration plus current search intent. Content.js finds cards, background.js calls Jev, and the content script covers the card on a positive verdict.
Raise the waste threshold so only very likely time-wasters get covered, and raise minimum confidence so Jev must be surer before acting. Both live on the extension Settings page alongside the enable switch.
Turn on fetching the video description. The home feed hides descriptions in the DOM, so this asks the player API for them to give Jev more signal beyond the visible card text.
A MutationObserver watches the lazy-loading feed and checks new cards as you scroll. Your key lives only in extension storage, and setup is Developer mode plus Load unpacked on the folder with manifest.json.
Download the repository zip and unzip it, turn on Developer mode at chrome://extensions, then click Load unpacked and select the folder containing manifest.json. Open the extension's Settings, paste your TypeSafe API key and save, then refresh YouTube.
Enable the extension, a waste threshold where higher covers only likely time-wasters, a minimum confidence Jev must clear before it acts, and a switch to fetch the video description from YouTube's player API for more signal.
Nothing is hidden permanently. Every covered video has a click-to-reveal on its dimmed shield, and once you reveal it, it stays revealed for that tab.
