About Piggy blocker

This extension is written for Ukrainians who are tired of seeing content in the Russian language on their Youtube. Even if your Google account language is Ukrainian (or English), and your OS language is not Russian but your location is Ukraine, Youtube will continue to show you videos in Russian. This extension helps you with this issue. It may hide (blur) all videos with title or the channel name in the russian language. Also, optionally, it may click "Not interested" on such videos. So, next time you will see less such videos. Hides Russian content on YouTube, and helps not to recommend it if it finds Russian letters (ы, ъ, е...) or specifically Russian words in the video title. In order for Russian videos to be blocked, you need to log in to your YouTube account (otherwise they will be just blurred). ► Currently works on: ✓ Home page ✓ Sidebar recommendations (when watching video). ► Has different ways to block russian videos: ✓ Just blur (intensity is configurable) ✓ Click "Not interested" and blur ✓ Click "Not recommend this channel" ► Has local stats about analyzed videos ► Has dark and light theme ☀️ Tips: ● Popup has short stats, with list of russian videos blocked during last hour, there are also "Detailed stats" button, which opens stats page that has search, filters etc. ● In some places (especially on detailed stats page), hover to get help. ● On detailed stats page, there is "Count word stats" button, that logs words and how many times they are found in selection to console (press F12). If you find some problems, i would appreciate any reviews. YouTube sometimes changes it's layout, so, unfortunately, problems may occur. It is open source project, you can take a look at code or contrubute to it here: https://github.com/ronikiienko/piggy-blocker
