About FeedCleaner for YouTube
FeedCleaner for YouTube gives you a cleaner, faster, distraction-free YouTube experience — without slowing down your browser.
── WHAT IT DOES ──
🚫 Ad Filtering
Removes in-feed banner ads, promoted videos, and sponsored cards from your home feed and search results before they ever render — zero flash, zero blank space left behind.
👁 Hide Watched Videos
Automatically collapses videos you've already watched so your feed always shows fresh content.
🩳 Remove Shorts
Hides YouTube Shorts shelves from the home feed, search results, and the sidebar navigation — giving your feed back to full-length videos.
🎵 Hide Mix / Radio Shelves
Removes auto-generated Mix and Radio playlist shelves from your home feed.
⚡ Inline Speed & Quality Controls
Adds a Speed button (D key) and Quality button (E key) directly on the YouTube player bar — one click to switch, no digging through Settings menus.
• Set a default speed (e.g. always start at 1.5×)
• Set a default quality (e.g. always prefer 1440p/2K)
🎛 Fully Configurable
Every feature has an on/off toggle. Manage defaults from the popup or the full Options page.
