About YouTube Topic Blocker

YouTube Topic Blocker lets you decide what kind of videos you never want to see. Pick from 7 built-in topics — Politics, Gaming, Breaking News, Sports, Music Videos, Drama/Prank, and True Crime — or create your own custom topics with comma-separated keywords. Matching videos are hidden from your home feed, search results, Shorts, and recommendations. If you open a blocked video directly, playback is stopped and replaced with a block screen (with a "Show anyway" override). Everything runs 100% locally in your browser using simple keyword matching on titles and channel names — no account, no API keys, and no data ever leaves your machine.
