About YouTube Russian Content Filter

Antirus is a Chrome extension that filters Russian-language content out of YouTube and Google Search, so you can browse without running into Russian propaganda and misinformation. KEY FEATURES YouTube filtering Antirus detects Russian-language videos and removes them from the YouTube home page, search results, and subscriptions page. Google Search filtering (NEW in 1.2) Russian results in Google Search are collapsed behind a small "Result hidden by Antirus" banner. Click "Show anyway" to see a hidden result, and "Hide again" to collapse it. Real-time protection Content is checked as the page loads and as new results appear while you scroll. You don't need to do anything. Simple ON/OFF control Turn filtering on or off with one click from the toolbar icon. Lightweight Antirus runs only on YouTube and Google Search pages and uses minimal resources. HOW TO USE 1. Install Antirus from the Chrome Web Store. 2. Filtering is on by default. Browse YouTube or search on Google, and Russian content is filtered out automatically. 3. To pause filtering, click the Antirus icon in the toolbar and press OFF. Press ON to turn it back on. 4. On Google, click "Show anyway" on any hidden result to reveal it.
