ByebAI - AI Content Blocker for YouTube™

Take back control of your YouTube experience. ByebAI automatically hides videos and Shorts that YouTube itself identifies as made, altered, or generated with artificial intelligence. Tired of synthetic voiceovers, deepfakes, and mass-produced AI content cluttering your recommendations? ByebAI cleans up your browsing experience instantly—with zero configuration needed. KEY FEATURES • Home & Feed Filtering: Automatically hides AI-disclosed videos from your homepage, subscription feed, search results, and sidebar recommendations. • Shorts Protection: Hides AI Shorts in feed shelves and provides a one-click "Skip short" overlay if an AI-disclosed video appears in the full-screen Shorts carousel. • Watch Page Dialog: When opening a video carrying YouTube's "How this was made" AI disclosure, ByebAI pauses playback and presents a clean block screen with an optional "Watch anyway" button if you still want to view it. • Instant Toggle: Turn filtering on or off anytime with one click in the extension popup. Hidden videos restore immediately without needing a page refresh. • Blocked Counter: Keep track of how many AI-labeled videos have been kept out of your feeds. • Lightweight & Fast: Runs quietly in the background without slowing down your browser or video playback. HOW TO USE IT 1. Add ByebAI to Chrome. 2. Browse YouTube as you normally do. Videos with YouTube's official AI disclosure labels will automatically disappear from your feeds. 3. Click the ByebAI icon in your toolbar anytime to check your blocked count or pause filtering. PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS ByebAI runs 100% on your device: • No user data, watch history, or browsing activity is collected, tracked, or sent off your computer. • No account or sign-up required. • Only requests the standard "storage" permission to remember your on/off preference and blocked counter locally. KNOWN LIMITATIONS • English interface: Detection reads YouTube's English disclosure labels ("Made with AI", "Altered or synthetic content", and "How this was made" panels). • YouTube-disclosed only: ByebAI respects YouTube's own official labeling system. It does not perform independent video pixel or audio classification on undisclosed content.
