YouTube Allowlist

YouTube Allowlist gives you full control over what content can be watched on YouTube. Instead of trying to block everything unsafe, this extension flips the logic: ✅ Only videos from approved channels or specific video URLs are allowed. ❌ Everything else gets automatically blocked. Perfect for parents, classrooms, kiosks, community computers, or anyone who wants a distraction-free and safer YouTube experience. 🔒 How It Works 1. Open any YouTube channel or video you trust. 2. Add it to your allowlist using the extension popup. From now on, only those approved channels/videos can play — everything else is blocked and muted. If someone tries to open unapproved content, they will see a full-screen message: “This video has been blocked by YouTube Allowlist.” Audio is also muted automatically — no bypass tricks. 🎯 Key Features Allowlist-based filtering → only approved channels and videos are playable Blocks all other YouTube content, including: Normal videos (/watch) Shorts (/shorts) Embedded videos Filters audio as well — muted + paused repeatedly to prevent bypass Clean and intuitive interface Add channels by: URL (youtube.com/channel/…), @handle, Channel ID (UC…) Add videos by: Full URL, youtu.be links, Shorts links On/Off toggle — quickly enable/disable filtering Working status indicator (blinking dot) so you always know the filter is active Local storage — no accounts required 🆓 Free Version Add up to 5 approved items (channels or videos) Works fully with no time limit ⭐ PRO Version Upgrade to unlock: Unlimited allowlist capacity Perfect for: Schools Libraries Shared workspaces Home parental control Just enter your unlock code inside the popup to upgrade. 📌 Best Use Cases 👨‍👩‍👧 Parental Control 🧑‍🏫 Education – allow only learning channels 🕒 Productivity mode – block distractions 🖥️ Public or kiosk devices 🚫 Prevent autoplay rabbit-holes and suggested videos 🔐 Privacy This extension: Does not track browsing history Does not send data to external servers Stores everything locally on your device Your allowlist stays private — always.
